Omholt family,
Our thoughts and love are with you, along with prayers that you will find a source of strength and comfort in each other, friends and extended family. Rosalie will forever be a part of your/our lives.
Our memories include: sharing in the family role of grandparenting, great-grandparenting, "inlawing", a driving tour of Fir Island viewing family farmlands, hearing the family history of the area, creating a new perspective of the Skagit Valley for us. We remember special forwarded email messages, the gardening, crafting, family gatherings, Archie and Rosalie's 50th wedding anniversary party, stories of the 60th anniversary celebration.
Peace and love to you.
