Pedar and Julia Farstad in North Dakota. He attended school
schools there and then spent nearly 2 years in the U.S. Navy

in great condition. A member of Malta Lutheran church, he was
often found volunteering his help and worked tirelessly at
helping others. He also served on the committee for Malta
chamber of Commerce.

daughter Deanna (Harlem); Granddaughter Susan (Billings); Son in
law Rich, and 2 grandsons Taylor and Teagan (Billings)

Dear Dagmar,
I have you in my prayers that His peace that passes all understanding surrounds you at this time.
We, as Christians, may boldly proclaim: "I believe... in the communions of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen
I have missed many of you since leaving Malta, but by no means have not had you in my thoughts in the pass many years.
God Bless you and keep you,
Cathie Wasser
