Marjatta and husband Kaarlo were one of the first family friends we had when my family arrived in Vancouver in the early 70's. They were founding members of the Finnish Lutheran Church (Emmaus Lutheran) here in Vancouver and that is where my parents met them. I remember what a wonderful and friendly person Marjatta was. I am very sorry for your loss.
