Dear Ones,
What sweet memories I have of your Mom and Grandma. She was a one of a kind, delightful in everyday and had so much kindness wrapped in her spirit. I cherished the time that I had with her and the opportunity it afforded to get acquainted with all of you.
Blessings to you and love,
Linda Lundeen
Dear Sue (& Rex), Nancy, and Linda, first, what a beautiful picture of your Mom! There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains! Though we never had the pleasure of physically meeting your Mom, we have met her — through the 3 beautiful daughters she raised to be kind, caring and tender-hearted women. May the Blessed Mother, Mary, wrap her loving arms around all of you during the coming days, weeks and months to come.
