We were so sorry to hear about Marjie and so glad that you were with her at the end, Ron. Our thoughts are with you and Cris and we’ll see you on Monday.

We visited Mrs. Johnsrud at her residence with our therapy dogs, Mulligan and Lilly. Always welcoming to us and to them, we (humans)have lovely memories of our visits’ conversations – warm, eager, and caring and we (labradoodles) remain appreciative of those delicious treats she kept in the side table’s top drawer! We will forever treasure our very first room stop every other Tuesday morning and we will surely continue to pause outside the door to her room from behind which we heard the response: “Oh good, come in”…… We send condolences to her family.

She was the sweetest most loving grandma. She will forever be in my heart.
