My sympathies to my cousins and their families for the loss of their mother, my Aunt Hjordis. I have always had fond childhood memories visiting her when she and Uncle Edward lived in N.J.
She was a wonderful lady. My condolences,
Jim Lyngholm & family

Hjordis was my best friend. She always told me that she loved me. I saw her on Thursday afternoon and sang to her a little, but she was probably listening to carols in heaven! So I left quietly. When We returned on Saturday, she was gone from her room. It was sad because she was such a wonderful person to visit. I will always have good memories of Hjordis.
