Just want you to know how respected "Mrs Olson" was in our family. When my daughter who is now 31 started attending church, it was she who took Kristen under her wing and truly gave her an anchor in difficult times. I believe Nalda truly is the one who helped Kristen most in becoming a Christian.
Forever grateful to this wonderful woman!

I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathies on the death of your wife, Nalda. I have been privileged to have had her as a dear friend for many, many years. Nalda will always remain alive in the memories of her friends and loved ones. Please extend my condolences to your sons, their families and Nalda’s sisters, Judy and Vicki. I remember them well. My thoughts and sympathy are with you at this sad time.

To Our Dear Friends; Tracy, Elayne, Garret & Kendra; to Gene, Trygve, Deb, Trever, Kirsten, Carey, Emily, Alyssa, and Lukas;
We are sorry we cannot be present at the service on Friday to support your family as you remember and honor the life of your mother, grandmother and wife. You will miss her daily presence, her smile, her kind words, her laugh, her good cooking and yes, her phone calls. Your family has been blessed with years of wonderful memories of times spent together; special occasions, family gatherings, vacations….. Especially cherish those "photos" as they are now priceless! Remember to – Live each day to the fullest, as if it were your last, as we never know when God may call His children home to live with Him forever! John 3:16
Tracy, Trygve and Trever,
A MOTHER…..
When you’re a child she walks before you, to set an example.
When you’re a teenager she walks behind you to be there should you need her.
When you’re an adult she walks beside you so that as two friends you can enjoy life together…cherish these years, keep them close to your heart.
Sincerely, with our deepest sympathy, love, thoughts and prayers,
Roy, Beth & Jeremiah Bixler
To Gene and family,
My deepest condolences to you all. I enjoyed meeting Nalda at many Third District Board Meetings at Land of the Vikings.
She will be greatly missed.
Thinking of you,
Peter Vatne
