"The heavens are rejoicing with you. Love always"
"I always think of Marigene as my second mom. I loved her gentle spirit, warm personality and easy smile and laughter. I have so many fond memories of visits to the farm, family outings, haircuts in the kitchen, delicious baked rolls, and of course the Kringla (your recipe just isn't the same in my hands but always makes me think of you! I'm so glad we got to see you this summer...our hearts did the talking. I know that Mom is glad to see you and that the two of you are making the angels smile. All my love."
