We are so sorry for the loss of your baby brother. The Bjornberg Family has always been a blessing to so many people. Gee, if you want to have a baseball game, your never short for putting a team together, call the Bjornberg's. Someone needs help, you show up and there is always a Bjornberg there. The love and friendship found in this family is not common, but it is what everyone wishes they could have. It is a lot of dedication to become this type of family, faith, love, strength, generosity and no room for the self-serving. My family has been lucky to know all of you. I am glad my daughters were able to learn about family from being included at great picnics and seeing what is most important in life. Love, The Wiese Family
