SV: Greetings from Utah‏

Dear Trauntwein and Myrna

I have been mining to write you for quiet a while, but I really do not get much don on the computer. I sitting in front of one the whole day at work, and then I really do not want to sit in front of it when I get home, but I do that a lot anyway. I do want to keep in touch with our friend, but it sure takes some time too. I had meant to write write you to let you know that Rita, my sister died 3 weeks ago, quite suddenly. I called her and she told me she was not feeling too good, so she had just been drinking a coke, because she had a stomach ache so I asked her, if she had a pain in her left arm, and she said yes a little, so I told her to call a doctor, because then it was not her stomach, but her hart that hurt. She did that and they brought her to the hospital during the night, she had a little blood clod in the hart. They treated her for that but her blood pressure felt and they could not get it up again, she got some more blood clods and to make a long story short. We prayed that what was best for her would happen, and two week later she died, and the doctor told us, what was really wrong was that she had lung cancer. I had suspected that, but did not say anything, but as I sat at the temple after setting her name on the prayer list, I felt that the best thing that could happen to her, was that se died. And it was, she didn’t have to go trough chemotherapy. We miss her, but it was what was best for her. And she is in good hands now. It is getting a little close thou. She was only two years older than I, so I have been thinking a lot about life and death since then.

My cousins that came to the funeral said that they liked how we did it much better, than as it was done in the Lutheranien church. All our cousins were there and Arne, Jan and Ernst all got down from Sweden with their families. I had not seen Arne for three years. His family just came home from Turkey the night before, he had two ours of sleep and then they drove down to Denmark which is 1200km. But it was a good day.

We do not really have sommer yet, we have had about 2 summer days, but it is kind of cold  and windy and it is almost ST. Hans, the longest day of the year. I do hope it will be better.

Janne has been here today, well not really here. The Relief Society in Silkeborg was here, so they could go to the temple,

They came yesterday. Janne brought her daughter, because she is still nursing nursing her. So Line was watching the baby yesterday during one session, so Janne and I could go to a session together, and I went in and watched her so Janne could also take a session today. I was sitting out in the temple garden and Ester slept the whole time, so that was nice. They took the train back to Sønderborg this afternoon.

I hope you are all fine, and healthy and happy

Love Else
