Wayne Jesse Mark and Debra It is with heavy heart that I read of the death of you dad. I have so many fond memories of my mother and your dad promising to pray for the bunch of us. I guess their prayers were answered for we all still live. I am sure that the angels are singing and praising right along with him now. I pray that the lord holds each and everyone of you close on this long and lonely road that each of us must travel. Hold each other tight and love in his name.
