Wenche Trondsen 1947 ~ 2007

Another was lost last week. I was just informed that a fellow Aggie and friend, Diana Trondsen lost her mother to Pancreatic Cancer on Wednesday, May 2. This will continue until more is done to combat this disease. My prayers go out to Diana and her family, deepest sympathies to you all.

Following is her obituary:

"WENCHE TRONDSEN 1947 ~ 2007

She married the love of her life, Eigil, in 1967 and they moved to the United States in 1973. After teaching herself English, Wenche established her own business in 1985. She was loved by all who knew her; friends, staff, and especially her family.
