Here's to you, Blake!! Rest in Peace

This 4th of July a friend of mine and my husband's was struck by Lightning and killed while at a Celebrate Freedom carnival in a park in Billings. He was running to his car pulling a wagon of toys and picnic stuff, while his family including his two little girls were running in front of him to get out of the storm!



We met Blake through his brother Fred who worked with us at United Glass in Billings. I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with MaKenzie and we needed someone to help the guys in the shop and do part of my job while I was on maternity leave. It just so happened that Blake was looking for a job. He jumped into whole heartedly and was eager to learn everything, it only took me a couple of days to train him on my end, and he fit right in with everyone. He had a wonderful personality and was a joy to be around. After Harold and I moved back to the ranch Fred and Blake came out hunting, and if there was anything at all we needed help with while they were here, he was more than happy to help! I would cook them all lunch and dinner and before I could finish eating he would be up doing the dishes. He was just a Good Guy.
He was just starting to pick up the pieces of his life after his wife left him and their two little girls!
Please pray for the Harmon family as they lay their son, brother and father to rest tomorrow!
So Here's to you Blake, we were blessed to have had you in our lives!
