Jan, I have fond memories of your mother from Sons of Norway meetings. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I too remember Pat from Sons of Norway meetings. I admired her willingness and energy to volunteer even when her health began to decline. I was also always fascinated that she had lived in Turkey. Heartfelt condolences on your loss.
