So many memories of our times together growing up...typically at Grandma Fran’s. I always looked forward to the few times a year the “Moosbrugger twins” would be coming to a Bertrand to come visit! I am forever grateful to Brenda for making those trips a priority! We would sit up on the balcony or hide in the rooms and swap stories about what life was like going to a “regular school”  compared to the “all girls “ school the girls went to. 

We would always have speech lessons on how to properly pronounce the short  A sound and E sound 

Flash light tag. Cutting up magazines to make collages. Learning all the “new” clothing and hair styles. Dropping Christmas light bulbs off the balcony so they would explode (sorry Fran!). 

Typically our time together involves lots of stories, lots of giggles, some mischief, and the goodbyes always ended in tears and hugs... counting down the days until the girls would make their trip back to Nebraska. 



Soul Friends

July 6, 2019

I first met Lindsay & Courtney about the age of 11 at Camp Foley in MN. We were all bunked up in cabin, Sacajawea. For weeks our group of mischief-girls ate together, went to mass together, drooled over & teased the same boys together; it was an outdoor adventure-filled experience to remember...the Moosbrugger twins are un-forgettable humans I grew to adore. 7 years later after middle school life & high school days were behind us, I miraculously ran into Lindsay & her mom boarding the plane to U of M's Orientation. I had accepted to attend a college in a town I hadn't ever visited & there was my old camp friend headed to the exact same destination. Even more freaky was that my mother & I had seats right in front of Lindsay & her mom!...it was a sign amongst many I was on the right path. Our friendship was fun, Miss Lindsay- navigating our twenties both in & out of similar friend groups. Never besties neither only acquaintances, your familiar face & kind personality was magnetic & I truly saw you as someone I was grateful to know. Your twin power always radiated light, any on-looker definitely appreciated how beautiful, one-of-a-kind bond you & Courtney had. While it was only your mom & dad I met, let it be known that I send love & strength to your entire family; whether it be in their spirit or human form. Much love <3

I shared this on Facebook a couple days ago...

Oh Lindsay...I have spent the last few days with no words. I love you so much! You, your sisters and brother were always the highlight of holidays growing up. I am so thankful that your Mom made that effort. The bond that we cousins share is the pure reason I make that same effort for my kids. I’m still struggling to imagine the reality of today. I will miss your beautiful smile and can still hear your sweet voice (I have always loved and been a little jealous of your family’s Minnesota accent ). You had such a sweet and gentle soul. To say you had a knack for writing is an under statement. Your written words were so beautiful. You saw the beauty in nature. Your stunning pictures from your adventures on FB are a testament to that. My most recent memory, which I will never forget, is the phone call when you told me you were pregnant and may be making a trip to Colorado. I was beyond excited! Your love for you son was obvious, seen through pictures. I hope to meet that sweet little man soon. I placed Missoula and Glacier National Park on my bucket list of places to visit, something we always talked about. I will promise to be here for your sisters and Mom. Give Michael and Grandpa a big hug from all of us (I will say it...I am a little jealous of that reunion). Until we meet again, rest easy sweet angel.
