It's hard to find the words.
Gerd was so ahead of her time. She introduced me to real feminism and showed me what that looked like. She was determined and smart as a whip. After I lost my parents, Gerd and Olav took their place. With their passing, it's the end of an era I really loved and I will miss them both deeply.
All of the wonderful holidays, cabin trips, and meals where I learned to appreciate the Norwegian politeness and common sense that I carry today.
The best of them live on in our wonderful children.
