We were both so honored to know Great G'ma Blosberg. She was such a wonderful woman who oozed with God's love. It's so wonderful that she lived such a long good life and was able to share so many, many family gatherings with you all.

The Podany's and the John and Violet Blosberg's were friendly neighbors on Jefferson Street in Columbia Heights in the 1950's. This was in addition to my Aunt Pauline Tkach, and Uncle Mike Podany and their respective families. I have nothing but fond memories of the Blosberg family and our mutual association with First Luthern Church. My career required that I leave Columbia Heights in the early 1970's but I recall my boyhood days with Gary and Dale throughout our school years and as kids playing together. Violet was always a fine neighbor, friend, mother, wife, and she lived her life by true Christian Principles, and raised her family the same. God will surely welcome her after 95 years here on earth. I wish to express my sincere condolences to Gary, Dale and your families. Sincerely, I send this message from a long lost friend and neighgor, but one who has always rembered fondly our friendship, even now at age 63, and fully retired.
