Dear Jodee, Melodee and Randy! 

I am deeply sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved Ida-Mae. Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mother. She was a remarkable person, and her kindness and warmth touched the lives of many.

During this difficult time, please know that my thoughts are with you and your family.

Ida-Mae and Norman's decision to welcome me into their household as an exchange student for a year in 1977 had a profound and positive impact on my life. I will always be grateful for the opportunity they granted me. Besides mastering English, living with a new family with different habits and cultures than what I was used to taught me invaluable life lessons.

I am also deeply appreciative of the invitation extended in 2018, when my youngest son and I had the privilege of staying with her during the 40th high school reunion. It was truly wonderful to see her again and reconnect. I am especially touched by the strong bond she developed with my son, Axel, who affectionately called her "Grammie" ever since. She held a special place in his heart, as he never had the chance to meet my parents, as they had passed away before he was born.

My heart will forever be filled with gratitude towards her, my American Mother!

With deepest sympathy,
Johan Fahlvik
Stockholm, Sweden
