Marvin said he wanted to see his 90th birthday and he did - nine days later he went to be with the

Lord Jesus. Our family wants to extend our heartfelt kindness to Dr. Kennedy and Dr. Dahl for their

gentleness and compassion while taking care of our dad during his medical appointments and

his final moments of life. The ER staff, hospital nurses, and the MN West student nurses who

provided excellent care while Dad was in Sanford Hospital Hospice care.

Mr. Hartquist and the funeral staff who provided first-rate service and to Pastor Lori VonHoltum

for weaving together a warm and touching Celebration of Life message.

And to the Tuff Nursing Home who said Dad told them thank you everytime and we say thank

you for taking care of Dad; and to the community, thank you for your sharing, caring and your

support during the time of Marvin’s passing.

From Gerald Winter: (the motorcycle guy) Thank you for all the kind words and encouragement for my 87th birthday. One card stood out though. It said, “Congratulations Alice, you’re 21!” Alice was penciled out and “Gerald” was written in. Behind the 21 it said, “x4+3=87. Have a nice day.” Now, I’m all in favor of saving the environment when we can, but I might be dealing here with a radical environmentalist or just an old fashioned cheapskate as there was 73 cents postage due.” ***This was not fact checked by Adam Schiff.*** Cheers!         (2.6-2.8)
