September 28, 2007

Bob and Geneva Larson (parents of Valerie Larson Friedholm) send this message of sympathy to all of the family. We had met Aunt Edla just briefly, but so enjoyed that privilege. She was a lovely lady with obvious enthusiasm for all of life, and we are sad to hear of her death. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints."
