To the family of Ila Bjornton, please accept my sincere condolences on your loss.

Dear Terry, Wendy, Jill and family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mom, she was always such a wonderful part of our growing up, and I was so fortunate to see her a couple years ago when visiting Minneapolis. I know how very special your parents were to my dad and mom their whole lives! My prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Becky Northey Weinkauf
Dear Jill, Terry and Wendy,
