Family and friends are welcome to drop by our home Sunday or Monday afternoon before the service. You are welcome other times as well, but you may want to call to make sure someone is home:

Mendota, MN 55150
(651) 688-7749

A map with more detailed directions to Mom & Dad's is available here or here. If coming from the east, because of road construction and blockage, you will need to come 494 and get off on Highway 110. Go north on Hwy 13 into Mendota (not Mendota Heights). If coming from the north or west, take the Mendota bridge south across the river and take the first left which is Hwy 13. Look for a green house, detached green garage, motorhome in the driveway, and a rope swing. Take a look at this picture of the approach to the driveway.

Death is nothing at all

I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
