hayride, too! Fred and Lois shared 57 loving years together. They were a beautiful example to their children and grandchildren of a committed husband and wife as they openly shared their deep affection with one another. One of Fred and Lois' favorite pastimes was old time dancing. They traveled to many polka fests in Minnesota, the Dakotas, Wisconsin, and Iowa. A very special memory of the family was watching Mom and Dad dance to their favorite song, "Blue Skirt Waltz" on their 50th Wedding Anniversary! They were truly Best Friends! In 2000, Lois and Fred built their dream home on the hill overlooking the St. Croix River Valley. Again their family grew with more babies for Fred and Lois to love... 13 great-grandchildren! Fred spent the next few years buying and selling farm machinery. In December, 2006, he suffered from a severe accident while unloading a hay wagon. He spent many months away from home recuperating. He came home in September, 2007. In less than a month, his beloved wife Lois went home to be with the Lord which broke his heart. But he was determined to go on for his children's sake. Fred's favorite saying became "mind over matter" as he struggled to walk again. He remained in his wheel chair, but was blessed to spend the last few years of his life in their "dream home." A special thank you to all his caregivers... without each and everyone of you it wouldn't have been possible! Now Fred and Lois are together again in their "Heavenly home" dancing forever. Praise the Lord! Funeral 11:00 AM Wednesday, June 13th at Elim Lutheran Church, 20971 Olinda Trail No., Scandia with visitation beginning at 9 AM. Interment Lakeview Cemetery, Mahtomedi, MN.
