Monika and I are planning a trip up north in June and our starting and end point will be Berit's home town on northern Sweden.

That will be bittersweet.  :'(  :-*

Hello everyone, it has been a while. I hope everyone is doing all right.

I wanted to let you know that Berit?s funeral will be on August 3rd in a chuch close to where she lived in northern Sweden.

I have ordered a bouquet of flowers with blue irises to be delivered. I also included a blue ribbon with the text ""We will never quit you" - from your Brokie friends all over the world."

I hope this feels OK for everyone, and I hope you can all feel included in this last greeting to our dear friend, which is the intention.

Monika

Monika, thank you so much. That is so thoughtful. I would love to see a photo of the flowers and everybody at the service. Hint, hint.

I'm so happy I got to meet her several times and also her husband, down in Tucson.

This was on Berit's FB page today:

Berits funeral sends through a link at Pite? begravningsbyr? Berits memorial page at 13:00 tomorrow.


13.00 is Central European time = GMT + 1.

What does that mean?

It means that at 13.00 our time you could click on a link at the funeral home's website and take part in the funeral via (probably) zoom.

I had thought about it, but then had an urgent matter to attend to.
