I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother, Birgitta. My husband, Rollie Carlson, and I (Margie) enjoyed when she visited us when we still lived in Cleveland, Ohio, many years ago. We took her to Bethlehem Lutheran Church which at one time was all Swedish. Rollie's dad, Einar Gunnar Carlson and his wife Linnea were married in the original church. Dad Carlson had been an honorary Swedish Consulate of the Midwest for 35 years. We toured Cleveland and introduced her to some Sedish friends of ours. She brought us a cd we listened to of the original music written in Sweden in honor of Christine Nielson. My son Wm. Rob's oldest daughter, Katharine Virginia Carlson, has inherited that voice. We had a wonderful visit and enjoyed communicating all these years. My Rollie had passed away June 6, 2014. My son. Rob and his family live here in Naples. My step-daughter, Lynn Carlson Miller also is here in Naples with her husband, Wm. Ned Miller. My heart goes out to each of you at this time of loss. May God have his loving arms around you as you move forward in your lives. Love always, Margie
