Default The world lost a great one.

Just to inform the net that the world lost a great one this week,I am up in Illinois this week to lay to rest my father,a great man.It saddens me to be here but I am happy for him,as I know he has joined my mother.I know this has nothing to do with carving,but this is a off topic thread and I have to just inform the world that they lost a great one.Thanks and I hope to be more regular on the site now.

I am sorry to hear of your loss Mark. Please accept my condolances.

Celebrate your Fathers life and accomplishments, and be consoled with the difference that he made in the world.

I am very sorry about your loss Mark. It is hard to deal with but like you said he is with your mother now and both are smiling down on you. Always cherish the memories you have and they will help carry you through life.
