Chris (Harding/Markfelder Family): Although it's been over 20+ yrs., I can still remember visiting your grandparents on several occasions and enjoyed all the visits. They always made me feel like I was one of their own grandkids. I'm so sorry for your family's loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Cousins, I truly will miss your Dad and my God-Father. I will always remember him and Aunt Mary as the ones that put me on the path to sports. They gave me my 1st baseball glove for my first communion. I will keep all of you in my prayers. With love, Mike
