I have only just read about the passing of Alice Gustafson, who was my mother Evelyn Teisen's cousin. I know it's over a year late but I thought I would send my sympathies. I live in Australia and just recently was in Norway, visiting the place where my grandfather and Alice's father came from, Sandya. I brought pictures of the family in America to share with our Norwegian cousins and Manfred (my grandfather Olaf's brother) Emmy and Alice were in these pictures. So please know that she was spoken of and included in our Norwegian family story. My regards to you all, Claire Teisen
