My thoughts are with the family at this sad time. Monroe and I worked together for the Paul Lawrence Co. in Rochester, many years ago. He was always polite and kind to me. I know there's going to be a big hole in your hearts.
With warm regards,

to Monroe Brenhaug family. we are very sorry to hear of your loss. Our family and the Brenhaug's spent many summers at Waskish campground on Red Lake, we had the best of times. we wil keep you in our prayers.
Monroe was my slightly older cousin. He taught me about fishing during our visits from California when I was a kid. His dad Martin, my father George, our grandpa Lang, and the two of us would fish for walleye in the Lake of the Woods. He was a good guy. All my condolences to his sons. Corky Lang
Dear Brenhaug family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Monroe was a peach of a guy and a proud and loving father. Charlie and I just drove by my old house in Marvale on Saturday and I wondered if Hog was home. We had some great times when you boys were little, and even then he had built a hockey rink in the back yard. Hog lived life to the fullest and I know you will have great big holes in your hearts for some time to come. Time and the good memories will help greatly. I pray for you all that you will feel God's loving arms around you at this time to carry you through.
Love to you all,
Janna
