Anna, being one of God's most beautiful rays of sunshine, made her final journey Feb. 11, 2006. She always had a smile on her face for everyone she met, whether she knew them or not. She ended her time here living at Cottesmore Life Center, getting to stay with her sister, just the way they were together for most of their lives. She would have been 86 years old Feb. 12 and had been ill with Alzheimer's disease and cancer.
Born Feb. 12, 1920, at Carbury, N.D., to Axel and Helga Holdaas, she was raised on the family farm where the Carbury Dam is now located.

The police department “persuasively argued that termination is proportional to the severity of Officer Baldwin’s misconduct,” Miller added in his 34-page report issued Feb.
But there are no reasons that are adequate for having lost. For the loser there must be one hundred percent determination and dedication to win next time.
