“How do you write an almost lifetime of memories in one small space? Sharing our lives with the Backlund Family has been a privilege and a blessing for the past almost 40 years. Madalyn is a delight. Full of playful mischief, quick to laugh while making others feel at ease.

Til we meet . . . we love you always!”
