Debbie, Penny, and Todd, Thinking of all of you and send lots of love. I sure loved your Dad and I have so many memories of him. He was a very loving husband, and dad. So giving all the time. My boy's even remember when we came to church in Duluth one Sunday and your Dad had bought them both baseball gloves. They were like 5 and 7. So thoughtful. We will see you on Saturday. Love and God's Peace, Sherilee and Dan

I always enjoyed Eino's company and stories. He will be missed but I'm happy that he now has a truly peaceful rest with no more worries, no more cares.
God's Peace!
