we are family


This past weekend the whole Berglund clan (minus a few) was together to celebrate our Grandma's life. It isn't often we can get everyone together. In fact, the last time we had this big of a Berglund crowd was at Grandma's 85th birthday. It was a busy weekend, but it was nice to reconnect with cousins, aunts, and uncles. It was particularly fun to get to know some of my cousins that I didn't know very well growing up - hearing their stories of my mom, Jean, as well as their memories of Grandma and Grandpa. Little Miss J made her debut by applauding and yelling YAY! after the opening hymn at the memorial service. She was pretty impressed by all that singing!

Here's my Dad with his brother and sister.


Even though we are unable to see each other often, we are family and we definitely had a nice time this weekend!

I didn't know your grandma had passed away. Our condolences to you all! Glad you had a good time with your family.

Thanks. It happened at the beginning of March, but we waited to have the memorial service until now so that everyone could make travel arrangements.
