To the Oslund Family,
I grew up in a family that read the obits or as we call them "the Irish funnies". 30 years of reading them, I have to let you know that this was the most heart touching. I wish I knew this exceptional woman and feel like she was a kindred spirit even though 45 years separated us. I would have loved to have gone on one of her 4 hour lunches. She loved well and was well loved. Sorry for your loss.

To the Oslund Family,

We wish to express our sympathy in the loss of your wonderful mother. We so enjoyed her and your father down at the cabin. Her contagious laugh automatically put a smile on our faces. She was always so jolly and merry. What a great neighbor.

We'll miss her and remember her and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Dennis and Joan Deutsch
