Dear Family, I am so sorry to learn of your mother's recent passing, I send you all my heart-felt sympathies. My mom and your mom were gal pals and their circle of friends included Ethel, Keo, Sophie and Helen. I remember many days playing over at your house with Arlene & Kit and all of the "cubby holes" that big house had to hide in. We lost touch once we grew up, but when my brother Jae died in 2008 your mom sent me the sweetest letter and included pictures of Jae & I when we were probably 6 years old, during a weekend spent at your cabin. I was so touched by her thoughtfulness, her kind gesture and memories still warm my heart whenever I think of her. She was very proud of each one of you kids. I hope you know that others felt your mom's specialness, and share in your loss. Sincerely, Nancy (Bergstrom) TrudelleSavage, MN 07/21/2011 3:36 PM
