Linda, Vivian and Gary, I can't express how sad I am for the loss of Lillian. After my mom died in 1999, she was another mother for me. I know she was a surrogate mother for my husband, K. Mikael Wallin, as well.

Brunsvik family: We loved your parents. They were always so wonderful to be with and we knew they would have us laughing before the visit was over. Our church connection was a sweet bond and their example was a good standard for all of us of generosity and loving kindness. Afton Falke
