Dear Carolyn and Family,
While looking up a friend's funeral arrangements, I came acoss this sad news of your mother's passing.
My heart, prayers and sympathy go out to you and your family. Your mom was a very special, dedicated lady. The girl scout days of leadership were so enjoyable thanks to all her help. She will live on in our thoughts. Blessings to you as you go through the grief of missing your mom. You are in my prayers.
Fondly, Barbara Schmitt

Thinking of Grandma a lot today. She was the matriarch to the Wilson family and an abundantly thoughtful person, as all of us grandchildren know from the newspaper clippings and other materials she would save especially to share with us during our visits. Historian, master gardener, birder, steward of her (our) Norwegian heritage, and above all a loved and loving family member. She will be missed.

Thanks for all the great memories. The one memory that was really special to me was when we donated Grandpa's navy uniform and jacket to Acorn Hall in Morristown. I enjoyed reading the historical articles you sent me and listening to all of your historical experiences. Now you are with Grandpa and all your friends, telling them all about your all of your grandchildren.
Love, Peter

Fond memories of Marianne will be cherished always. Marianne had such a great smile and gift of knowledge to pass on to so many we were surely blessed to have known her. It was an honor to attend her 90th Birthday party and to know our grandsons Trenton and Oliver came from such wonderful roots. I recall thanking her for the birth of her daughter Marianne who is the mother of our son in law Jim. The boys enjoyed her so much.I enjoyed giving her gifts Christmas time of items that were associated with birds, for I know it was a great pleasure to her. A life journey fulfilled may she rest in Peace.

I wish It had been possible for me to attend the memorial service, but it is a long way from Norway to New Jersey, so I have to let the mind travel instead.
I met aunt Marianne for the first time when she came to Aiken when I visited her brother Arne in 2001. I had heard so much about her then, that I immediately felt acqainted to her. She was such a sweet lady, gentle, nice, loving, easy to talk to, even for a new relative from Norway, and I do understand what her passing away means for her beloved daughters and grandchildren. I think I know you all, because she sent me pictures of all of you. She was so proud of you all.
Myself, being the younger daughter of her youngest male cousin in Norway on the Fliflet side, I have heard about her since I was little. Her parents, Magna and Thorleif, came to Norway in 1956, I think, and they brought a little American doll for me and a light Blue Cadillac for my brother Arne. I do not know where the Cadillac is, but the doll is still one of my precious items. I named her "the Marianne Doll", and she has been with me all the time since I got her. When I heard aunt Marianne was ill, I placed the doll in the kitchen, where I could see her all the time.
Marianne's father Thorleif, had a sister, Anne Marie, who was born the year after Thorleif. She was a close relative for me, and she often talked about the American part of the Fliflet family. She connected Anne Wilson to me, and we wrote letters to each other for some time in the 60s.
I am so glad that I met Anne's, Irene,s, Helen,s and Carolyn's mother. And I am så grateful for what she did to keep the family ties together.
Marianne,s mission is ended. She had a long and good life. Let us keep her spirit alive by keeping the bonds between the US and Norway.
Love, Wenche, Erik's daughter

Thorlief Fliflet was a mentor to my mother in the raising of ferns from spores. After some years of successfully raising ferns this way my mother wrote an article on the process for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden,which they published in their periodical.
I used to mow the lawn for Thorlief and Magna, who were gentle and sweet people.
Best wishes to Marianne, who was in my class.

Dear Marianne and Family:
I offer you my very deepest sympathy at this time of inconceivable loss and sadness.
They say the loss of a parent is like no other loss… that you cannot compare it to any other loss. When a relative or friend passes you grieve and you are of course sad, but when your parent… your Mom dies, a part of you ceases to exist, gone just like that, gone no warning, just gone. And the life that you knew, the things you always felt, the things in your life that made sense, that you held on to, that makes up who you are –feel like they are gone too.
All the words of understanding and compassion become white noise to the roar that is coming from your heart. And only you and your family who are all grieving in their own and very private ways have any idea what you are going through… People who love you and love your dear mother will search for words to comfort and strengthen you and more than likely find none.
I am no better at this… but I know this to be true. You loved your Mom and she loved you and that is forever and ever. And she would not want you to be in pain, though she knew it was inevitable you would be.
The sounds she would most want to hear would be the sounds of your laughter and the telling and re-telling of stories of her wisdom and follies. These sounds and times may not be for now, but they will come and when they do… she will be with you and you will feel a little piece of her magic again.
You know that the magic and wonder o her life will always be a part of who you are.
With heartfelt condolences,
Wendie and Brian Blanchard

We are grateful to have so many wonderful memories with you, Grandma. Your driving tours around Mountain Lakes, the cozy holiday dinners in your home, our trips to the local lakes in the summer, the articles you'd save for us from the paper... your wit, your charm, and your love.
The boys are happy knowing that you are now in heaven. May you rest in peace.
