Hello Everyone~
We continue to be blessed by the outpouring of love and remembrances of Maureen.  Thank you all for you amazing love and generosity.  We are grateful.

We wanted to post some information here about the planned Celebration of Life for our beloved mom, Maureen.  We will all be gathering Friday, August 13th, at the Hampton Inn in Bemidji from 3-7 pm.  We look forward to seeing many of you there in person, and hope to get many hugs!!   Here is her obituary from the Star Tribune.
