When my borther and I were growing up, Tante Lene was always good to us. She never showed us any anger, but was generous and kind. She always reminded me that she loved me and that I was a good child (even long after I was no longer a child...). Thank you Tante Lene for your unconditional love. - Posted by: Ingrid Friesen (Family) on: Dec 20, 2010
