Kjell Alfsvaag

I have known Kjell for a very long time and I will miss him terribly. I was shocked and very sad to hear of his death. I feel very fortunate to have sat by him at church a few months ago and him seeing my daughter Lydia for the first time. We went to lunch together and laughed as he got to know her.
Kjell, I will miss you and I love you very much and always will. I will miss giving you rides to wherever you wanted to go, and the good times we had over the years. I know you are at...

Kjell, one of my best friends for the past fifteen years, was a dear and sweet man. Always fun to be with and cared so much for his many friends and family members. He managed to survive many health problems with a wonderful bounce back attitude. I will miss him greatly and am glad his suffering is finally over with. And to his wonderful Aunt Bev, you raised a very sweet and compassionate man.

I have known Kjell for nearly 30 years. We were best of friends in high school and reunited at our 20 year reunion. I was very happy to see that he was doing well. And I am sad to hear that I won't get to see him upon my return to Seattle next month. Cheers Kjell!!! May your pain from life be eased.

Oh Chelsea,

I hate this world sometimes, and wish I could put another Barbie band-aid on you and make this all go away.

When you introduced yourself, sat on my lap, and proceeded to antagonize every guy in the place, I knew this would be an enduring and unpredictable friendship.

Everyday was “Saturday” and you were the only person that I knew (I don’t personally know Donny Osmond) who knew all of the words to “One Bad Apple Don’t Spoil the Whole Darn Bunch”....

Kjell's wecloming smile and his laughter were always there to cheer me up when I needed it. Thank you Kjell for being such a wonderful friend. I'll miss you.
