In memory of Darlene Wennerstrom
We, cousins in Finland and Sweden of Darlene’s father Sven Eric, have never met Darlene but she has always been part of the family history. We remember when her grandmother Elna wrote to us about the birth of her first grandchild who was given the beautiful name Darlene. She never visited the home of her ancestors in Vepo village in Finland with its fields, forests, mighty rocks and the peaceful beach. We are glad that Victoria, Debbie, Solveig, Luther, Diane and Carol came to see us and want to express our heartfelt condolences for your loss. The whole family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Rest in Peace, Darlene.
