Hello, I send my condolences about your father. I just saw this when looking for Sue, who was my roommate at Valley Forge Christian College 1979-80. I had lost touch with her and did not know she had passed away. I’m so sorry. Please email me if you are willing. God bless.
I’m very sorry for your loss. I remember playing golf with you Mark and you father. Your father was a good person. in fact, your entire family was really good!!
