To Eloise and family, I am very sad to hear about your mothers passing. When a person loses their parents, they are truly left alone to face the world. Thank God we have many good memories along with words of wisdom from our parents to carry us forward.
We do live in a very small world. I did not know your mother personally, and was surprised to read that Marcella was Gunny (Gunvold) Hermansons sister. She must have been a very gentle person like Gunny. Gunny worked with my father, Frank Eklund for many years in the machine shop. They were very good friends and even rode together to work every day and even cut each other’s hair. I worked with Gunny during my high school years and he was always a joy to be around.
A few other memories I recall are that my father had your dad and mom take care of my sisters horse back in the 1960’s. My sister Janice would go out and ride horse at your farm.
Please accept sincere condolences from myself and as a representative of my father Franklin Eklund (1917-1992).
