I failed to mention that our neighbor to the east, Mark, died this past Tuesday. Mark was 79, and had resided in the Veterans home for the last 2 years or so. His wife, Judy, was so loving and faithful in visiting him daily. We had the honor of stopping by Judy's this morning and our timing was perfect. We got to visit Judy, her daughter Margaret, Margaret's husband Mike and also Judy's son Joe who is almost a twin of our son John, red hair and all. In Mark's professional career he served as a lawyer for the city of Minneapolis. I know that Mark lived a life that his family can be proud of.
This means that in the last 6 weeks neighbors on both sides of 2094 Niles have lost a loved one. It only reinforces that life is short, it is full of difficulties but in spite of all that happens in life the world does not stop, life does not slow down and once again the only constant is change.
Here we are at July and the months is Dave's. An outstanding father, dad, woodworker and a man of God he had it all. We miss him.
