Dear Larson family and extended family -- I was shocked and saddened to recently learn of Bjorn''s passing on. Although I was 10 years Bjorn''s junior, I remember the kindness he showed me as one of Cheryl''s daycare kids. I also remember Bjorn would sometimes stop and say hello while passing on his motorcycle if I was playing in the driveway as a youngster. May God be with you all during this difficult time and during the months and years ahead.

We were surprised and truly saddened to hear the news of Bjorn's passing.  We know it will leave a hole in your hearts that only time and precious memories can fill.  We remember Bjorn fondly from all the years he and Jamie were classmates and Jim was his teacher.  There was never a dull moment when Bjorn was around.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this sad time.  May God bless all of you.

Mindi, Brian, Cheryl and all of Bjorn''''s Family:

There are no words to describe how sad I am to hear about Bjorn.  A true friend to so so many people.  I''''ll never forget all the times that I got to be around Bjorn, back to when we were young and my mom watched him, to riding the school bus together, all through high school, and then in college.  I am glad that I could call him a friend.  Bjorn''''s laugh was one of a kind, and contagious too!  If you weren''''t laughing along with him, you were when he was through with you!!

Bjorn was a great person and a great friend.  He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.  Rest in Peace Bjorn.

As I sit here and try to come up with the most smoothing and comforting words to give you all during this difficult time, I come up empty handed. I just think of the great loss each and every one of you will endure.  Looking back at the last 13 years and remembering all the family gatherings: enjoying all his stories, how he was the life of the party and how he could always make me laugh. Bjorn was a prominent influence in my son''s life, very  understanding and patient with my daughter, and was like a brother-in-law to myself. He  was a great person and will be sadly missed and I will cherish all those stories and moments of laughter we all shared. God Bless you all. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time and the many days to come.

Love

Mindi,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  Bjorn was a classmate I will never forget...  I believe he and Aaron were responsible for the nickname that stuck with me all thru highschool.  I still remember him dancing at one of the games and it makes me laugh every time.  It was great that you worked on the class reunion so we were able to see him again.  It had been too long.  I know you and your children will miss him dearly, but were so lucky to have him for the time you did.  Find strength in the great memories you shared and the children you have together.  Take care.

To Bjorn''s family & friends,
Sending my deepest heart felt condolences and prayers for comfort. Though it has been years beyond years, I too, can still remember Bjorn''s laugh and more importantly so (to me), his nonjudgemental ways. He never belittled me, or ever called me an ill name in the way that so often kids do of each other. He simply accepted people for who they were and made his own opinions despite following the common road. That is kindness. Thank you for that Bjorn -
Sincerely, Cara Malone (Poquette) Elmwood ''92
