- Don Kupferschmidt and RetaTo the Montag family,
I was blessed to have known both Leo and Loretta Montag through my association with the Knights of Columbus. They were very active in the many functions over many years with the Knights to help other people. I too was aware of their love for each other just by being in their presence. They have shown us a path as to how God intended us to live. My prayers are with the family at this time with the passing of your mom.

Fondly remember my sisters babysitting for the Montag family. Your Mother was such an amazing lady, very friendly, kind, full of life, energetic & hardworking. Always admired your Mom & Dad. While starting their family they turned their purchased farm into a very successful dairy farm. Your Mother was a big part of that success. Rest In Peace Loretta

The time has come for your mom and dad to be together again. Although it is a sad time when we say our final goodbyes, there is comfort knowing she has gone to eternal rest . They will be again dancing together, playing cards and holding hands. Their love for each other was such a great testimony of what a great marriage can be. As neighbours for the last 20 years , I feel we have lost some beautiful souls on this side of heaven. Thoughts and hugs to all.
Doug and Sheila long
We are so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a great lady. Your parents were an inspiration to all. They held hands wherever they went, even to the garden, I was told. So sweet. Now they can be together and and hold hands again.
