Bret and Shana with Ella (grandaughter #8)
 Bret and Shana Klinge have lived in Montana since 1999. Prior to that, they lived in Washington and Idaho for several years. They are the proud parents of 6 children and 8 grandchildren who are the center of their lives! For 22 years, Bret has been employed by Costco Wholesale, a career that started in Reno NV and ended up here in beautiful Montana where he plans to stay until retirement. Shana is a nurse and  the Assistant Executive Director at Edgewood Vista in Missoula, a job she loves and hopes to stay at until her retirement. 
They started the foundation in memory of Mason as a way to help other parents as well as help them deal with their own grief.
