Dear Petra and Family,
I always remember your kindness to me and Kristen at the ice rink and your helpful suggestions and recommending Kristen do some gymnastics training with Alexa. I enjoyed our conversations. I know you are looking down on your family and friends! May God bless you and your loved ones. Virginia Swanberg

Dear Edward, Alexa, Jeffrey, and Family,
We are so very sorry to hear about Petra's death. We were just notified tonight around 8:00 PM that Petra had died. Kristen had called us. She apparently just saw a posting by Alexa. If we would have known earlier, we would have been at the wake. We have very fine memories of Petra, especially at the ice rink. She was always so friendly and kind to us. Petra was very proud of you, Jeffrey, and Alexa, and her grand children. She will now be your guardian angel, looking down on you and keeping you safe. May God always keep you at his side, Petra! Our deepest condolescences to the Treichel family.
Love,
Virginia and Ron Swanberg
