Memories for Cora
From: Jim & Janie Miller
Cora was a very gracious Lady. We had the pleasure of an
an evening with her and Carol, in Anoka,Mn. not many years ago.

Dear Hardinge
On behalf of Cora's norwegian famely I would like to express
our sympathy, and thank you for letting us know that our dear
aunt and grand old lady Cora has passed away. We would all have
loved to be at the funeral but it is not easy to organize in
such short notice. But we will be together with you in our minds.
Cora wisited us several times and as a kid I specially remember
the chewing gums from America.
I'm very glad that my daughter and I had the opportunity to wisit
Cora in Velva, and meeting you and Nadine, I see from the newspaper
article that she has passed away, how sad to read.
We had some wonderful days together, and seeing where Cora and
Sven lived and worked was just fantastic. Also looking av all
the old pictures that Cora had from our american part of the
famely was very very interesting. I remember she said that she
wanted to write a famely-historie, I wonder if she ever got started
....
I still have the video from our wisit and I will try to make
this from the tape to a CD.
After letting everyone here in Norway know, I also called Cora's
famely in Seattle (Sven's brother Torvald's sons). I learned
then that only one (the eldest) of his three sons are still alive.
Lois, Tom's widoe, promised to notify all the relatives over
there.
If I manage to make a copy of our wisit in a readable format
for USA I will send one for you to remember the wisit from Norway.
We will be togehter with you in our minds tomorrow!
Lot of love from Norway
