    I love you aunt Salla, I’ll always remember the happy times in New Holstein watching Wizard of Oz and the moon landing. I still have some of the books she gave me for birthdays and she always inscribed them from her and uncle Ken just for me. Even though she had so many kids she never forget my birthday condolences to everyone I love you all
