Thanks Columbia Falls

Our son Tanner died in October 2007. With broken hearts, we tried to adjust our lives without him.

In the spring of 2008, we started the Tanner Kolodejchuk Memorial Scholarship fund and awarded three graduating seniors that May. We have been able to continue to award several scholarships every spring since that time.

This May, we awarded five very deserving seniors with Tanner’s scholarship. Within two weeks of the awards ceremony at Columbia Falls High School, we received thank you cards from each recipient.

It is hard to explain how special it is to be thanked, especially at a time when these young people are so busy organizing their future.

Our heartfelt thanks to Parker Johnson, Courtney White, Brian Marcille, Austin Barth and Derrick Williams. A special thanks to all of their parents in doing such a great job.

Thank you to all who continue to contribute to the Tanner Kolodejchuk Memorial Fund.

Arlen and Shirley Kolodejchuk
