To Anna Ronning's family,
You have my sympathy in your loss. Anna was a special friend of my Sister, Stella Carley, so I became acquainted with Anna through her. Since I live in Decorah, She and Stella came up together, and we often went to Lanesboro to visit her friends there. She will be sorely be missed by all who knew her.
