Dear Joyce,
I was shocked to hear of Rune's death; in fact no one here at Sethness (except for Valerie) knew about it at all until Monday the 27th. Please accept my deepest sympathy and know that I will be thinking of you. Also, you are always so busy taking care of others...make sure that you take care of yourself at this difficult time.

YOU ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. WE HAVE MANY FOND MEMORIES OF RUNE. HERRING BREAKFASTS, BEARS GAMES, AND OF COURSE TRAINS. HE WOULD ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING FOR ME TO DO AROUND CHRISTMAS AFTER HE SENT ME THE NEW LIONEL CATALOG. THAT WAY I COULD GET TRAIN CARS FOR THE KIDS FOR CHRISTMAS. HE ALWAYS PAID ME IN TRAINS FOR MY WORK. IF YOU SIT BACK AND LOOK AT ALL HE HAS BEEN THROUGH HE WAS ONE TOUGH SWEDE! WE FEEL VERY LUCKY TO HAVE KNOWN HIM AND YOUR FAMILY. GOD BLESS YOU AND WE PRAY YOU FIND COMFORT DURING THE HOLIDAYS. DALE & SHARON LARSON
