Margaret Glasrud

To all the Glasrud kids. My heart goes out to all of you at the passing of your Mother and a Great family friend. I got to see Les and Marg in Mesa many time while visiting my Mom and Dad. Great people, they will both be missed. Our prayers are with you all.

To the Glasrud Family, What good friends Margaret and Les were with my parents, Carol and Richard Burr. They shared many, many good times together on extended trips in their motor homes and then in Mesa, Arizona. Both of your parents shared loving stories about each of their children and grandchildren and the educational and other milestones in your lives. And, Allan, Mark and I always enjoyed seeing your dad when he was a great usher at Bethel. When I called to tell my parents I had read that Margaret was gone and what a special obituary it was, my mom said she thought she probably knew everything that would be in it because she and Margaret had shared so much about their families. Over the years, we tried to visit Margaret when my parents came to Madison, but now that they are 93 and Dad has trouble getting around, we go to Cedar Rapids to see them. So, I'm sorry that we hadn't been there recently. And, Allan and I were out of town the day of the memorial service. So, I send our family's sympathy with thanks that Margaret and Les (and all of you, indirectly) were an important part of our lives. Warm Regards, Michele Burr Mickelson

Hello. My name is Polly Tracey. I did not know Margaret but I recently purchased a sewing pattern from 1940 and tucked within the pattern was a letter to Margaret in Ossian, Iowa, from Agnes in Spring Grove that was written right after Margaret’s marriage to Les. I thought someone in your family may like to have it. You can reach me at coffee30@charter.net. I would be happy to mail the letter to you. Polly
