JP: Sorry to read about your dad. Having lost my dad last November, my sympathies go out to you and your wife, your mother and your family. I just read in the paper here in Minneapolis that Barb MacLeod's dad died, and when I went to the Korsmo funeral home site I noticed the obituary about your dad. Although I did not know your dad, I see he worked for the railroad, as did my mother and grandfather. I hope all is well with you and with the rest of your family. Take care. Drew Backstrand

Dearest Jane, Jim, Angelique and familes - Noelle, Tonia and I were saddened at the news of Al's passing. We have remininsced fondly and the stories that the girls share are priceless. Al will always be there for them in their memories....and what special memories! They both grew up knowing he was there. Perhaps having Noelle and Tonia "bother" him daily prepared him with the patience and charm he would have with his own young grandchildren! How those girls would pester him! "Al" was often Noelle's first word of the day when she was yet a toddler! Al would always treat the girls with 7 Up and a cookie....while Janie would try to feed them real food (Italian, of course!). How wonderful for them that they grew up with another Grandma and Grandpa right next door...and how lucky for me that I had another family....complete with a younger sister! All of you are so much a part of our lives even though we live miles away...and you always will be. Even through this sadness, I still can smile at all the good times. God Bless all of you....we miss you. Love, Nanci, Noelle and Tonia
