Tante Aasta,Inger, and Paul:
Onkel Ivar was very special to me and even though we weren't there all the time you certainly have been and will always be in our thoughts. I'm so glad to have seen him recently. It helps in my grief as well. As he was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather he was also a wonderful uncle and godfather. As special as he was to me you are all just as special to me, and I have been lucky to have had him in my life just as I am lucky to have you all im my...
