Judy and family- it is with sadness for you all that I learned of your loss. He was a neat man. I remember visiting your parents with grandma (Stella) and he always had a joke and a piece of candy for me. May you hold him tight in your heart with wonderful memory. Until you meet again, he and your mother dance! He looked so forward to that day. The Lord gave it to him. Hang in there and do let God's love comfort you.
Hugs,
Cousin - Christine (Stubbe) Trinrud
