Dear Tollefson and Sorenson family,
I was so sad to hear the our Auntie Vi passed away. I have so many fond memories of Vi when I was growing up.  Most of all I remember the sound of her voice telling my bothers and I stories about the Sorenson family. Vi was fun to be with too. She laughed a lot.  
Jan and Trudy, I am sad for you.  With love I send my condolences,
September

Both Tolly and Vi were such great friends to my grandparents--Kenny and Edie Moen.  In fact Tolly and my grandpa were like brothers.  My sincere condolences go out to Owen and Jan and family.  It was nice to see both Tolly and Vi and after Tolly passed to see Vi still come to family functions over the years.

We were very sorry to read in the paper today of Vi's passing.  She was a very nice and kind lady.  We have many good memories of golfing with them when they golfed in Flandreau.  Our condolences  to all the family.  

Roger and Ione Johnson

My sympathy to your family.  I remember Vi always with a smile on her face.  Whenever we would meet she would smile and ask how we were doing.  A lovely and caring person.

When Vi would visit Colorado, we would take walks down by the river near my home.  We had to have a chuckle when Dad and Vi climbed up into a fort that was built by kids.  She was truly one of the nicest women I know!

When Vi would visit Colorado, we would take walks down to the river.  She and Dad crawled up into a fort that was built in a tree by kids.  We had to have chuckle over that!  She was truly one of the nicest women I new!

We feel so blessed to have had Vi in our lives.  We are thankful for the special relationship she had with my Dad (Merle).  It brought such joy to both of them.  The nightly phone calls were the highlight of the day.  Please know how much she was loved.
