Together they farmed the land until 1989 and continued living on the

Mom and Dad celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in September. Dad has made many friends through church and his faith in God has been the mainstay of his life. Through the church he learned to love music and has appreciated the beautiful hymns that express his faith for his entire life.
Dad’s personal mission was to share his faith with others at every opportunity. One of the way he enjoyed doing this was to offer a Bible to anyone he met.
