I want to let you know that I have moved.

I received a call on Sunday, March 29, 2015, from God, the Chief Architect, who informed me that my new home was ready and I could move in immediately. You know that I have been sending my lumber, packing up, and getting ready to move, but there were some minor finishing touches on some of the lumber that only the Chief Carpenter Jesus Christ could do. Well, my new home is finished and it’s such a beautiful place.

Of course the streets are paved with gold and every day is Sunday here, I’ve been told. I have lived in many places before my new home was prepared and none of the others compare. There is peace, joy and happiness here with only serenity everywhere. I could go on and on about my new home, but I have to get fitted for my robe. Let me give you my address.

He was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in December 2014, and he lived out his final months in his Florida home with a humble, faithful heart, good sense of humor, spending time with family and friends.

In his final days, his wife and all his children and grandchildren were by his side loving and praying for him. After he took his final breath, it rained for a few minutes, then one loud clap of thunder was heard, and then the sun came out. He made it to his heavenly home. No more pain, no more suffering. Alleluia!

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

Stephen was a very humble community servant who was very involved in many organizations and boards, including American Legion and Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

Florence L. Yeadon, 93, of Austin, Minnesota, died Wednesday, April 22, 2015, at The Cedars of Austin.

Florence was born July 6, 1921, in Austin, Minnesota, to John and Vesta (Munson) Buhs. When she was three weeks old, her family moved to Dexter, Minnesota, and resided with her grandfather, Charles Buhs, who was widowed. She attended Dexter and Elkton Schools and the Dexter Methodist Church. Florence and Elven were married Jan. 1, 1942, at the Parsonage in Brownsdale and resided with her parents and grandfather during the years Elven was in the service and Florence helped care for her grandfather.

When Elven returned, they spent one year of employment north of Dexter and the other years of his employment northwest of Austin. They later moved to The Cedars of Austin. They were very grateful for the many years of marriage and all the love given to them by their farm family -- they especially loved all the little children and their growing-up years and they were all very precious to them.

Florence loved to read devotional books and spent many hours each day in meditation and prayers. She especially liked the old hymns she sang in Sunday school; her favorite hymn was "All the Way My Savior Leads Me." She enjoyed visiting people at The Cedars, especially those that were confined to their rooms.

Elven and Florence attended First United Methodist Church and were grateful to them for their love and caring.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brother Charles and his wife Mary; sister-in-law Esther; parents-in-law Laura and Fred Yeadon; and her precious husband of 66 years who left this earthly life on February 26, 2008. She was very lonely since Elven's passing and was looking forward to a great reunion with him and family and friends.

Florence is survived by her nieces; her farm family; and many friends.

A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Thursday, April 30, at Clasen-Jordan Mortuary Chapel with the Rev. Marilee Benson officiating. Interment will be at Grand Meadow Cemetery. Visitation will be at the mortuary for one hour before the service on Thursday.
