Uncle Nels, Nels, Lena & Mertie - I am so sorry for your loss. It's not easy losing a loved one. Aunt Myrtle was very special to me. I remember her when she was dating Nels... Nels used to take me and my brothers with him sometimes on the "long" drive to stabler to visit her. I was all of 5 or 6 at the time. Her and Nels used to take us to Carpenter lake where they taught me and my brothers how to swim. Whenever we stayed at grandma & grandpa Madsen's, we also visited Nels & Myrt. Sometimes I would spend the night at their house. One of the things I remember doing with Aunt Myrt was staying up late lights off, watching "Alfred Hitchkock" movies - scared the thunder out of me, and I remember being afraid to go to sleep.
Although I haven't lived close to them in years, she always welcomed me with open arms when I visited, I will miss her. My prayers are with all of you for comfort and strength during your time of loss. Love, Alice
