Very sorry to hear of Kerstin’s passing. My thoughts & prayers are with her Bethesda family, particularly Sonja and her family, and Kerstin’s surviving son. I enjoyed visiting Kerstin several times in my years with Bethesda and especially enjoyed her special Swedish buns that she baked. She will be missed.
We are so sorry to see Kerstin pass away. We have many fond memories of her. She did beautiful needle work and she baked the best Swedish cookies ever. Our condolences to the Krummery family.
We were sorry to hear of Kerstin’s passing. She had been a good friend to the Ericksons and a great help to the Starbranchs. She was a hard worker and will be missed.
