Job 5:26

You shall come to your grave in ripe old age,
like a sheaf gathered up in its season.

Lois' god-father, Rudy died this week at the age of 97. His service will be Tuesday.

Rudy was full of life and humor. He always had a new and fresh joke to share with us when we visited. Even though he was impaired by a stroke a few years ago his spirit and life were not.

A gentle carpenter and man of God from Moorhead who was well respected for his trade was still building in his late 80's-early 90's. More of a "strawboss" at the end he still would share his knowledge and skills with others who would implement his wisdom.

Blanche and Rudy were close to Lois and her parents. To be blessed by loved ones of such an age in this season of our lives has been one of God's gifts to us. We give thanks for Rudy and the joy he brought to our lives and relationship.
