I'm so sad at Mark's passing. My family loved him so. My mother especially, she was so thrilled when he came to her 50th Wedding Anniversary party. He was always so kind and interested in everyone here, even though I'm sure he didn't know most of our names! I'll miss him so much. Much love and good wishes to his family. Our deepest condolences, from The (Tom) Schroeder Family.

Death is nothing at all -
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Laugh as we always laughed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be the household word it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before - only better, infinitely happier and forever - we will all be one together with Christ.
