A gathering of families

Ruth Thompson French, Carol Thompson Trittin,
Mary Thompson Huspeni and Bonnie Thompson Snater
As the youngest of nine, the late Rebecca Lynn Rolfsrud was the object of a good deal of pride and adoration by her elders. Mary (second from the right on this couch of Thompson sisters) told of combing Becky's curly golden hair and dressing the child for a bus ride to downtown Minneapolis with no particular destination, just to show her off. Other siblings and her best friend spoke at yesterday's Memorial Service  in Eden Prairie, relating stories of a short life well-lived. That was followed by a luncheon buffet offered by Becky's husband Virg, and enthusiastically attended (below) by his family members, Nancy, Steve and Allen.
