Guest Book
Growing up in a small town with the Swedberg family, it was a joy to see them fill up a pew in church every Sunday. You could tell that Mrs. Swedberg was the strong matriarch of a wonderful Christian family!
I sang in the choir with Mrs. Swedberg and enjoyed many fun times, in Youth Group, with her wonderful kids, who, obviously were taught great Christian values!
Our sadness can be lessened, because we are assured that she is now in the arms of Our Lord and reunited with her...

Sending prayer for the Lord's reassurance for all the extended Swedberg family at this bitter-sweet time. Thank Him for the many years you've experienced her love and example of faithfulness as a Christian mother and grandmother! One day we'll meet again on the other side, and then it will be "Songs of Praises, Songs of Praises" we will ever give to Him... In Jesus' Love, Kaarina Ham

My deepest sympathy Dale in the loss of your dear mother. She was such a lovely woman whom I always enjoyed her as a customer at the bank many years ago and running into her when we would have our hair done on the same day. Thoughts and prayers go out to all your sisters and brothers as well.
