I was feeling nostalgic today and thought that even though this memorial site is in honor of my mother, there have been so many outstanding, loving women in my family. I think about how each woman had her trials and tribulations in life but always put it behind them and took care of their families. I am blessed to have had wonderful Aunts, cousins, and second cousins who have left me with everlasting memories of family get togethers when we were young.Although lifes journey has taken all of us in different directions and we become busy with our own families we still are a family. If I left anyone out when I lit a candle in memory of all of them, please forgive me. A few women that I also would like to mention and honor were my Aunt Lavere Buckingham, My aunt Agnes Quanstrom,Helga Lundholm, Gladys Quanstrom, Pam Quanstrom, Kim, Kelly and June Nickas. All of these women have left me with fond memories and have shown me strength, compassion, and the love of family. I am proud to say that I have been blessed with the Buckingham, Quanstrom genes and honor the company of women in this family. God Bless you all. xoxo Sandy (Quanstrom) LaDage
