To the Keurulainen family,
How we loved and will miss your mother and grandmother. She was a constant witness to God's unfailing love for all people. We will miss her, but she has received now what she has longed for. To be standing in the presence of Her God and Savior. Also she is now reunited with her Beloved husband Toi.

To the Keurulainen Family,
I was truly thankful to know Mim. She was a very special person to me. Ive known her since Ive been 9 years old and I always thought of her as my second grandmother. She always had a nice smile on her face, and I remember many conversations I had with her. Some time back, I made her an afgan and she always thanked me for it years after the fact I gave it to her. She holds a very special place in my heart and I will forever miss her.

You were our extended family. My children adored you as did I. Our visits at your home and your stories of the past were heartwarming and comforting. You were a dear friend. My children and I will miss you dearly!
