Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

  • As a child I have many fond memories of walking over to gramma's. She was always happy to see me and allowed me to go downstairs and put the Lone Ranger record on her stereo. I would sit there and listen to it for hours. As we all grow and move around the country or world there are always people we miss and think about. My grandmother was always on my mind and always will be in my heart. I've never met such a wonderful or warm person always willing to listen and provide sound advice. Gramma I know you are in a better place now with Grandpa, mother & father, your children that passed before you, your brothers and all of the others close to you that left before you. You must be having a wonderful reunion. I know someday I will again have the chance to see you and as I have such wonderful memories of you, you are in my heart now and for always. To me you'll always be close by. All my Love, Dean - Posted by: Dean Bergstrom (Grandson) on: Sep 23, 2012

  • Clara was my husband's grandmother and I have good memories of her even when I only saw her 2 or 3 times in 22 years. She was a nice person and I will always remember her. Thanks for your kindness Clara. - Posted by: Reyna Bergstrom (grandson's wife) on: Sep 23, 2012

  • Clara has played a major role in my life from the time I was born, and we grew even closer after my parents and then Uncle Freeman passed away. I treasure our trips to Nygaard and stops for ice cream on the way home from appointments, shared takeout and stories from the past, her advice on my needlework projects, our private jokes and so many other great memories. She had a great sense of humour and was equally as stubborn/determined as my dad! I know she was more than ready to go but she will be greatly missed. Her passing leaves a huge hole in my life. - Posted by: Denise Lawson (Frank's daughter) () on: Sep 23, 2012
