    Pa you are gonna be greatly missed. You taught me so much. I would not know one thing about a vegetable or hard work without you. You have always loved me and cared for me just as I was your son. I was your hethan for as long as I can remember. You are the reason I work so hard cause I enjoyed every minute that I worked with you. I could call you anytime day or night if I needed you for anything. I love you and I will miss you so much.

    Pa, You will be missed more than you could ever imagine. There are so many memories I could share, but the summers that I spent with you and Ma (and my brother and sisters)were some of the best times of my life. You have taught me so much and have loved me as your own child for so long. You are my #2 dad and I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! Your bear hugs will be missed

    My prayers are with Mark’s wife, his children, and grandchildren. I am so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know about Mark passing away until Sunday night. I would have attended his visitation had I known. Mark was a kind-hearted man, a hard working man, and a good friend to everyone that knew him. He took care of the hay on our small family farm since 1976 and though it’s been a few years since I have seen him, I am very saddened to know that he is no longer with us. The Lord must have needed another good farmer in Heaven.
