Dear Tarvainen Family: You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Elna was such a special person. She always had a contagious smile, a healthy squeeze of a hug and quick wit. I loved how she could recite poetry on any subject. No matter what 'topic' I would give her, she would respond in seconds with a poem and a smile. I never was able to stump her. Elna loved her family and her Lord and she is now in Heaven. May your wonderful memories of her and her words of wisdom give you peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during your loss. May GOD Bless you all
To Elna's family:
Elna was a joy to know, and she was a great blessing to many in our church. I remember her greeting people in the porch after services, and she always had a poem whenever Pam asked her for one. She was so quick-witted, she always had a snappy comeback. I remember a Women's League meeting when Peggy was first being introduced to us, and Elna introduced herself as "Miss America"
Please be comforted in knowing that she is with the Lord, and that many of your friends and family are praying for each of you.
Love,
Deb Schultz

Dear Russ & Arlene, and Rodney & Gail,
We were so saddened to hear of "Grandma T's" passing. We have fond memories of her when we went to visit with her on Saturdays and her earlier days at SNU. It is so difficult to lose a parent, as we both know...know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Karl & Susie
Dear Dad, Mom, Uncle Rodney, Aunt Gail and members of the Tarvainen family,
My heart is filled with both sadness and joy at this time. I'm sad that we have lost the matriarch of our family, but filled with joy in knowing that she is now with our heavenly Father. Mummu loved the Lord and I am confident that she is resting there now. I am sorry that I cannot be with you all at this time, to celebrate Mummu's life and final crossing of the Jordan. Please know that you are ALL in my thoughts and prayers, now and throughout the coming days. I am thankful to have many happy memories of my Mummu, laughing, visiting, going to basketball games and the countless Sunday afternoons that we spent together at Syrjala's together (just to name a few).
I am blessed to have had her in my life for so many years.
Love and God's Peace to all,
Beth
