Message: Our prayers are with you in the passing of Michael. We were neighbors in Devils Lake and it was during our visits that persuaded me to pursue a degree in education. I went on to spend 40 years in the classroom. I retired two years ago but am now back in the classroom as a substitute teacher in Grand Forks. May God bless you in the coming days. Love, Doug and Carol Eriksmoen
