As a child I dearly loved my Aunt Elsie. But as an adult, I truly valued her love and friendship. I have never met anyone with more spirit and such an outstanding attitude about life. Although her passing has brought immense sadness to so many of us, she will never really leave us, and I am confident she has already made new friends and is sharing her goodness with them.

My mother-in-law was and still is the most wonderful, giving, and caring person I have ever met. GOD truely blessed me along with all of her family and friends with an angel of a woman. This wise, determined, vivatious, outgoing, giving, loving, caring, unselfish, conservetive, charitable Sweedish womans memories will live on forever.

Mom, until we meet again I know that you know: I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!

Love, Randy
