    So sorry for your loss. I worked at Molstad Drug as an errand boy when I was in high school. Lila was always so kind to me. A very sweet lady.

    Judy and sisters,
    Your mother has graciously gone to her glory. I will remember her roaming in her wheelchair through the halls of Good Sam and eating eating every thing in front of her. She lived a good life. God bless all of you.

    Sympathy to the Berg family. I know how difficult it is to have your mom die. Your mother was a good friend of my mom (Olive Rikansrud) and the two of them worked together on Altar Guild at Canton Lutheran for many years.
    Also, Lyle was a classmate of mine: Canton High 1964
