SYMPATHY to the family of FRAN CHRISTIANSON i am a relative of Dennis Christianson -- my father was John Christianson and a cousin of Dennis. During our youth, living in Scarville, Iowa, we used to go up to visit the home of Dennis's parents, the Martin Christiansons. We have attended many Christianson Family Reunions over the years, and do know Fran from those occasions. My wife is not able to travel, so we will NOT be able to attend Fran's funeral.. Please accept our sincerest sympathy to both sons & children. GORDON & AGNES CHRISTIANSON, Rochester, MN
