I count one of my many blessings in life having known Lauren and Scott in the career college business. Our families grew up in the business together. My father admired and enjoyed Lauren and I loved and admired Scott, whom I still talk to today when I find myself stuck in a problem at work with seemingly no solution. Scott was my go to guy during those times and I miss him every day. No doubt Lauren's family will miss him, but I do smile knowing he is now reunited with his loving son and parents and I'm pretty sure Lauren and my father, Steve, will be figuring out how to solve a problem or two in Heaven! God Bless the Rhude framily. With Love, The Stephen & Mary Callen family & Sharon (Callen) Rhoads

Dear Lila and family: Many fond memories of your husband and father, your grandfather.....a blessing to all who knew him, a big loss to his family. He was a rock, good at bringing people together, knew how to present and argue a good point, was the epitome of someone who lived and loved his community. Hard work, devotion, dedication and prayer solves a good many things I suspect he might tell us. Reunited in heaven with his loved ones, as we all will be. That´s our biggest solace. For now we will make him proud, while those closest to him miss him the most. Sending each you my Love. ...Shanon, with Tim at my side and we are both praying in unison for all your hearts. ITB.

Ivar´s cousine Lila, husband Lauren and Lilas sister Irene visited Norway 1983, and stayed with us in our home for about a week. Since then, we have stayed in contact, and twice visited their home in Oro Valley and Pinetop. We are impressed about what they have been able to achieve in their lives, both in business and private. They should be proud, and after 40 years of friendship we can recall lots of good memories we highly appreciate. Our contact to Lila will go on. Thank you.
Your Norwegian friends Ivar and Kari.

Dear Lila,
My sincere condolences are with you and your family as you grieve the loss of Lauren. You and I enjoyed some golf together and I worked with Lauren on the OVCC Nominating Committee. You two were a most admirable couple and amazing individuals. Thinking of you. Bless you, Sally Mettler
