What a wonderful video, after viewing it I felt I got to know the man he was. A man of God, family and a man who loved the land and all it provides. My prayers are with your family as you celebrate his life. May the Lord bless and hold each of you close in the days to come

I loved watching the video. Especially the mushrooms, watermelon, and feeding the cows. You can see the love and pride that he had for his family in every photo. Praying for your family now and in the days ahead. May God comfort you.
