We especially wish to thank the many compassionate and gifted doctors, nurses and staff at the Shell Lake Clinic, the Indianhead Medical Center and Indianhead Home Services throughout the past months. We are also grateful to the management and staff of the Skinner Funeral Home for their sensitive and kindhearted assistance. In addition, we would like to offer a special thank-you to Pastor Carol Ann McArdell for her prayers and words of comfort, as well as to the entire staff of the Salem Lutheran Church for helping us provide a tribute and celebration of life that “Onkel Aage fra Amerika” would have been proud of!

A lady made a purchase at a store and the clerk asked, “Do you have an account here?” “No, sir,” she answered, “but I’d like to open one.” Taking her to the manager, he said, “A no-account lady to see you, sir.” But there are no “no-account” people with the Lord. You count with him. He loves you, says the Bible, “with an everlasting love.” His eyes are upon you. His ears are open to your cries. He marks your steps. He numbers the hairs of your head. He’s always thinking about you. No, there are no “no-account” people with the Lord. You’re somebody special to him.
