    There are no words for this loss. I’m just devastated. Losing Ed and Mark, and Mrs. Holt all in the same year is an emptiness without words. Please know I am here for you and will continue the prayers. We will all see each other again, God’s plan.🙏

    Mark was a true example of a Complete Man.
    True Reverence that I envy, generosity unparalleled to most I have known.
    The time I was graced fishing with him wasn’t near enough.
