My condolences, Chef. While you mourn her passing, remember the good times
and the long, rich life she lived! She would want that.

God natt, Bestemor.

Thanks Nick.

Thanks,

while in a way it is a relief, it is still hard to lose someone who

Thanks Jim,

Really hit me today that my Mom is the last of my direct
ancestors...my live portion of my family tree has gotten very short.

To my friends on A.F.B.

A little follow up to my Christmas story. My Bestemor (Grandmother),
Tordis Jullum Bornholdt, passed away today
at the age of 98.

Born in Norway in 1908 she emigrated to the United States with her
parents Reidar and Dagny Jullum in 1916. Growing up she lived both in
the US and in Norway.

She attended St. Olaf College in Northfield Minnesota. After
attending college she moved to Mobile Alabama where her parents were
living and there met and married my Grandfather, Eivind Bornholdt a
Merchant sea captain. They had 2 children, my Mom, Bergliot and my
Uncle Reidar.

My Grandmother was what they called a homemaker for many years but
also sailed with her husband to many ports of call, especially in
Central and South America. She also was very active in local politics
as a member of the local League of Women's voters and was involved in
the 1945 UN Conference on International Organizations in San
Francisco. Shortly before my Grandfather retired she went to work as
a Kindergarten teacher at the Bank Street College School in New York.

My Grandparents lived in Berkeley, California, Tenafly, New Jersey and
Woodstock, New York. When my Grandfather became age-impaired my
Grandparents moved into my Mother's house in El Sobrante California,
where My Grandfather passed away on Chirstmas Eve in 1993 at the age
of 95.

In the 13 years since my Grandfather's death, my Grandmother traveled
back to Norway for a last visit and to New York and back to St. Olaf's
for a reunion. Her health deteriorated significantly about 3 years
ago and then again in the beginning of 2006. Her hearing failed and a
chronic knee problem confined her to a wheelchair. At the beginning
of December 2006 she had a mild stroke from which she never quite
recovered. She passed away this afternoon with my Mom sitting by her
side holding her hand.

God natt, Bestemor...

I know that mix of emotion well. It's a mix that's hard to have without the
accompanying guilt. The guilt isn't real and only makes the loss harder.
It's best to set it aside from the real memories for now.

To A.F.B.

This time of year is always an emotional one for me as it seems to be
for many. Whether it's in dealing with current trials, tribulations
or positive excitements, or in remembering those Christmases past when
the magic of the holiday held far more sway over me than perhaps it
does now.
