Carol, Linda, Jerry, and families-Seeing your Mom's picture brings back so many memories. She and your Dad were such good friends to my parents, and such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood in Arlington. I remember your Mom hosting lunch after sledding for all the neighborhood kids. Please know that all of us Groons send our sympathy. Mom (Irene) especially. Your Mom held a special place in her heart.

Hetlet family,
We send you lots of hugs and love! Lilly left you with many memories to cherish. Your Christmas parties were awesome at their house! Setting up a lutefisk table and another table for non lutefisk eaters, and "everyone" enjoying her famous lefse. Take care and God bless
