Many many years ago a group of us "teenagers" square danced at Fidelity and Kellogg Marsh granges on Saturday nights. We had such a great time. Conrid, Bob and Gary Norman, Frank Bear, Janet McCallum, Marilyn and Ken Tallman, Louie Stangland, Cy Swett and many more I probably have forgotten. Lots of laughs and good times. Memories to last a lifetime. He was a great dancer. My sympathy to his family. You have wonderful memories to hold dear. Cherish them. That smile is the one I remember.

Dear Melissa, My deepest condolences to you and to your family, honey. I have known all of you since 1982. It was such a treat to see you on one of your dad's grand horses preparing for a competition and winning so many trophies. Can't even express how proud he was of you. Love to you and your family and God bless.

I am so sorry. I am sending love, prayers and hugs. So happy I was able to come and visit in April.

Melissa,

I will miss him and the fun visits we had when I would stop by unannounced at the office (usually on the way to the dentist). He was always ready to visit and laugh. And, of course, I got to know you and your family and have become good friends with you. I am grateful that you called for me to come and visit him a few weeks before he passed and to pray with him, yourself and Eva, and say good by. That is a good memory.

Love,

Ardis

Dear Melissa and family, Shanon and I enjoyed your father so very much. The past few months we would visit on the phone and I think the conversations could have gone on for hours! He visited ND and stayed in his horse trailer at our ranch a number of years ago and enjoyed riding his horses through the Turtle Mts with our kids Justene & Ty, enjoying nature and getting to know each other a bit. We have been very blessed to have known your father and have had him in our lives. God Bless Conrid's memory.

Dear Melissa and family of Conrid,
My parents, as newly weds shared many wonderful experiences with Conrid, his mom Bernice and his dad, Archie. We kids always knew there was an unconditional love and acceptance they all shared with each other. When I was a child, Conrid acknowledged me as a person of worth. Whenever anyone in the Cliff and Lottie family ventured to WA Conrid always made time out of his busy work day to reach out and re-connect. Our family and Conrid shared a deep love of dogs & horses and valued family connections and honest hard work! God bless his spirit.
With love, Vickie
