Donors for Shari Steadman's expenses
Thought you might like to put a list in the next newsletter 
of the wonderful FLamily members who sent donations to the Sharon Steadman Nicholas fund. 
As of today (Sept. 6) we have donations of $485. 
I sent $250 to the Beresford, SD funeral home for the cemetery permit and earth removal for the burial, 
and $100 to the Utah funeral home to help with expenses for her service at the VA Hospital. 
There is a monument next to Sharon's parents' graves with Sharon's name and birthdate on it. 
The funeral home I called handled her parents funerals and they had bought a stone for her. 
There were no arrangements made for burial or funeral 
but it does prove that she did plan to be buried at "home" in Beresford. 
The $135 left in the fund will go toward engraving her date of death on her monument.
I am so humbled and grateful to the following people 
who made donations and sent me wonderful notes of condolence:
Jake Lamkins, Robert Franklin, Kerry Allen, Roger Borchard, Bev Cummisky, Roger Wallace, 
Linda Casey Hamala, Ann & Gene McCaleb, Loren Holmgren, Charles Trantham, 
Leslie Taylor, Richard Rohrmann, Curt Sauber & Linda Lam. 
Amounts were anywhere from $10 to $100 and there were wonderful notes 
and emails but one in particular touched me deeply. 
I will not name the person who wrote this note but wanted to share some of the words with the FLamily: 
".......I believe that all Frontier is a family! I was very touched by your note to Jake Lamkins. 
I am on unemployment but would like to donate to your cause! Will also keep her husband in my prayers........." 
I am continually uplifted by the generosity and caring spirit of our Frontier family 
and will remember each and everyone of you in my prayers.

I am so sorry I did not send you Linda's obituary. 
Glad you got it. I was stunned at her passing. 
She was a beautiful, classy woman and her last few years were so sad as she had Alzheimer's. 
I worked with her husband Curt Sauber at St. Pius Church 
and the two of them did a lot of landscaping projects on the campus. 
They took in retired racing Greyhounds and traveled a lot to events with other Greyhound owners.
 You are right, Linda, like me, had a less than a year flying career with Frontier, due to marriage! 
Remember, we flew back when a stew could not marry. Dumb! 
Airlines wasted a lot of money training then losing us to love.
