Condolences

Condolence From: Dawn
Condolence: My heart is full with love and many precious memories. All wonderful....that farm...visiting in the summers...I looked forward to it and always knew adventures were going to be had by all!!! Seems like just yesterday that my younger self was there with Nelda and Kenny and all my cousins. We worked, played and enjoyed life to the fullest together! Auntie Nelda treated Lori and I like her own girls which was really special. Missing everyone!

Condolence From: Lori
Condolence: I have many, many fond memories of trips to MN in the summer. Looked forward to spending time with the Bjerke girls on the farm. It was always the highlight of the summer...Nelda would always take us swimming at the lake ONLY after all our chores were done! We often had so much fun (when we were supposed to be sleeping), that Uncle Kenny would pound on the wall multiple times telling us to be quiet, which made us giggle even more! So grateful we got to visit with family and could pick up right where we left off, even when there were so many miles between us. They will be greatly missed. Much love, Lori

Condolence From: sister JoAnn
Condolence: Having only one sibling, we shared many things together, especially our summers at Mission Farms working as waitresses and double dating together. We once pretended to be twins, changed our names, and spoke with an accent. When she married young, we didn't get to see as much of each other, especially when we moved out West. What a blessing to have a close companion growing up that I could share life with. Of course I shall miss her, but look forward to seeing her in heaven.

Condolence: Bjerke girls,
I don't have as many memories of visiting you all as my siblings, but I do remember coming to the Buffalo? house and hanging out with Bonnie. She was really into the "Grease" soundtrack and I thought how scandalous it was! I remember your mom letting us roam and play. Also have fond memories of visiting with your parents while we were visiting our folks in AZ. Whenever I picture them, it's of fun, games, teasing, and lots of laughter but I know it wasn't always that way. How wonderful they are free from pain and sadness! Much love to you all, Aleta
