  4. I’m so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Frosaker became my Dad’s neighbor at Bethany. As I’d been one of her students in Davenport, I recognized her right away. We’d visit & reminisce when I saw her. She was always so happy to chat.

  5. Dorothy & Liane….Such a surprise. I feel I have lost a friend to visit when returning to ND. It was such a pleasure sharing with Pearl all our mutual genealogy these past years. She seemed in such good health as we had breakfast together my last trip. My sincerest condolences for the loss of such a gracious lady.

  6. Dear Liane and family, My sympathy to you in the death of your mother. I regret that previous commitments to summer visitors make it impossible for me to attend the service in Fargo on Monday. I think of you as you give thanks for the many years of her good life. Blessed be her memory.

  7. Lianne, Dorthy and families,
    I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. She was truly an amazing lady. Last I spoke with her she was so excited about being in the Norwegian Choir. Her spirits and health seemed to be great. I remember student teaching and she was 5th grade teacher in Davenport. She will be missed by many for she gave so much to many. The earth is less of a place with her absence but heaven is rejoicing with it’s new angel. Time will heal wounds but the hurt may not go away. God be with you during these next weeks and months ahead.
