Your style is very unique compared to other folks I’ve read stuff from. Thanks for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I’ll just bookmark this page.
It’s late at night on April 20 2024. Something led me to look at your notification again from Wade Funeral Home. It is now two years since you passed on April 14 2022, and I see little activity from guests and no one in the family has left a memory. It strikes me more and more as I get older how quickly people forget. Forget their friends, their colleagues, and ultimately their families. The name gets lost just as your giant Vought aerospace complex is left in rubble. You never knew that happened, but it did. Gone along with all your many dedicated years of service and lifelong friendships. I will be gone myself one day and be largely forgotten. But you know I will never forget you and can never thank you enough for being my dad. All my days now have reminders of you and I try my best to live up to your name and loving care in my own special life. I visited mom’s site on here and left her a message as well. I will continue to visit your resting place at DFW National Cemetery periodically and sit in the grass at your beautiful site overlooking Mountain Creek Lake and reminisce with you. I look forward to the day when I will be reunited with you and mom in heaven. All my love, Mark ❤️
