Roy & I send our most sincere condolences on your loss. Roy has many wonderful memories of times spent with Mark when they were both very young. both trucking and when they worked out west at Elbert & Darlene`s at the farm. They enjoyed many wonderful times together & these kind of memories are the kind that last forever! We both wish you the peace & strength that you require at this most difficult time.
