At the Negstad picnic last night we were commenting on how unusual it is that, though our mother's parents were born in the mid-1850s, they still have eight surviving grandchildren, of whom I am the youngest. Now there are seven surviving, Mildred (Millie) Bergh Dick died suddenly last night. She lived with her husband, James Dick at Englevale, ND. Millie was born in November 1935, younger sister to Helen.
Millie was the mother of five children, many grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. She and her husband were avid dancers and the last I knew she was still running regularly. Short and slight she was the "Energizer Bunny."
On September 4, many of the Bergh family will gather in Sinai to inter the ashes of two Bergh sisters, Thea and Marjorie, who died a few years ago. Millie was anticipating coming. It's good the family can be together to share the grief. "For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:" I Peter 1:24
