Heaven has added to it's garden a beautiful flower whose memory will remain so lovely and vibrant in our lives. The sweetness of her and her love for Christ and the Church will live on in our hearts and memories forever. I know there was a special reason for her and her family to be in my life. The Tandberg household was a place so warm and welcoming to the young at heart. It is a place that I visit in my heart and mind often. I know that we will meet again in Christ... My Love and Prayers to all the family, Connie Sellars-Buckalew, Orange, Texas
