Verna Brekke was deceased before Apr 2022. When announcing her sisters (Ethel Srotyr) death on Facebook then, posts mentioned them being together again (i.e. in heaven).
You've given me death reports for three people on my list in the last couple days and they are all from my province...
I assume you have been looking for sources on some of the limbo cases - have you found any alive confirmation or death reports for other people that have not been confirmed alive in a while?
It is also possible to find anything else on this woman born c. 15 April 1912? She is one of the oldest people to get a transcatheter aortic valve implantation and was confirmed to have celebrated her 108th birthday. I also wonder what happened to Nicholas Mascitelli (who would now be 113)
@mrcatlord no alive confirmations yet but I will let you know if I do. I didn't check too many of the limbo cases, just was interested in the oldest ones.
Nothing yet on Olga but I can't check Facebook right now without my computer.
