Sonja, Kirsten and Marianne's family: My friendship with Marianne goes back many years, beginning with my friendship with Inger. Visits to your SW Portland home on New Year's Day were always a treat. I always felt a closeness to Marianne as we continued with annual luncheons. The Aarnas family has always meant a great deal to me and I will always treasure Marianne's friendship and happy memories with her. She was a strong and independent woman! I am sorry for your loss. We will miss her.

Sonja, was alerted by Leslie Limper this morning of your Mom's passing. I remember her very fondly and all the many happy times drinking tea way back when at your house. I was shocked to read in the Obit that both Inger and Laila are gone. I am living in So Cal too now. My Mom is now gone 3 years just past. Very sad for you and your family.

Neither calamities nor personal shortcomings, no matter how many, will overwhelm us if we do not lose sight of the fact that our blessings are more numerous than we can recount.'
