Dear Nancy, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. What a lovely picture of her. I lost my mom Alice January of 2010. It is difficult to lose our parents no matter how old they are. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire Strum family. Love & Blessings, Karen (Fredeickson) Norberg We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8 Strength and Peace to all.

Dear Nancy. Where do I begin ... have thought about you so many times and wondered about your dear mother. So many memories - such a lifetime of them. We share your sorrow and hold you close in our hearts. We are hopeful to see you on July 20th. We now have one more angel looking over us - the best! Always loved your mother and the entire Strum family. Our love to you. Kathy (Branstrom) and Dale Hanson
