    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Erin Julie Thompson, 35, was taken along with her unborn child and her 13-year-old son, Caden Odell, on March 19, 2009, as the result of a tragic automobile accident north of Kalispell.

    Erin was born Nov. 5, 1973, in Valentine, Neb., to Vince and Dianna Johnson. The family moved to Kalispell in 1974, where Erin spent most of her life.

    She worked at Sage Spa & Salon in Whitefish and was adored by her clients. She loved them right back like family. Every person who sat in her chair received her whole heart.

    Erin was a beacon of light, lover of all, celebrator of nature and an embodiment of peace. A free spirit, the joy of movement and dance was her second language. Watching Erin dance was a vision of celebration and uninhibited joy for life.

    Erin had an infectious smile and laugh. Humor was never far below the surface, and she had a knack for relaying the funny side of a story, easily brightening any room.

    Family has always been her number one joy. For 13 years, her top priority, pride and blessed honor, has been to be the mother of her beautiful boy, Caden. Her relationship with Caden was one of bundles of love, a mutual deep respect, open communication, and lots of laughs.

    Erin was poetic and romantic, and had an undying optimism that someday she would find true love. She was so overjoyed when she met the love of her life, Jason Thompson. Their wedding was joyfully celebrated in August 2006.

    Erin is survived by her husband Jason Thompson; parents Vince and Dianna Johnson; brother Thaddeus Johnson; sister and brother-in-law Amber and David Young; sister-in-law Lindsay Howard; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and so many people who have been touched by her light.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]

    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]

    Joy Patrice Dorothy Tierney, loved by so many for her purest of hearts, her steadfast loyalty to those she kept closest to her, and being uniquely herself.

    Devastation doesn’t even begin to describe the profound loss of Joy. There’s nothing on this earth that Joy wanted more than to start a big old family with her husband Jim. It was her main focus and something she often spoke about.

    Finally this dream became a reality with the arrival of our beautiful Lilith. Joy’s dream came to an untimely end just a short time later. I so looked forward to watching Joy as she took on this new role of what would ultimately be the greatest mom around.

    For one short hour she finally got to experience that burst of love and motherhood she had waited so long for, until she was cruelly taken from us. Lilith will have us all around to tell her how deeply she was wanted and loved, and her amazing Mom will never be forgotten. As private a person Joy was, she was still loved by so many. It seems as if everyone in her path had made their own unique connection with her, creating everlasting memories along the way.

    Joy was more than an animal lover, she was a dedicated pet owner that would stop at nothing to make her fur babies happy. Joy was also a beloved aunt and godmother to many. Almost a second mom to most of the children in her life. Her devotion knew no bounds and the children she loved adored her right back.

    Words cannot come close to expressing how deep we feel the loss of Joy, this will be a void that can never be filled, and all that we can ask is for all of us left behind without her, to keep Joy’s memory alive by telling her stories, and sharing the literal millions of pictures she held so dearly.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Melissa De Miranda, 34, of Union, New Jersey passed away on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at the Overlook Medical Center, Summit, NJ.

    Born February 7, 1990 in Livingston, NJ to Artur and Helena (nee Valente) DeMiranda.

    She is survived by her loving husband Matthew Quinones and her beautiful baby girl, Mia Melissa. She was the loving daughter-in-law of Mickey and Annie Quinones and Lucia Horna. She was a dear sister to Michele and brother-in-law Jose Ramalhosa. She was a devoted and loving aunt to Bella, Nora, and Joseph Ramalhosa and Adrianna and Ryleigh Jones. She was also the loving sister-in-law of Melissa Quinones, Chris Quinones, Kasey Vasquez, Ashley and Patrick Jones, and Joe Schmaler. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins.

    Anyone who knew Melissa knew of her strong support of animal welfare. She believed that all living things had the right to live in peace and harmony and was against animal cruelty. She took great care of her furbabies, Sophie and Kelsey and loved them fiercely. Melissa believed firmly in equality for all people and would not support organizations that went against her beliefs. Melissa was a one of a kind soul with such a pure heart who always saw the best in people.
