    Mark, I’m sorry to learn of your father’s passing. It is difficult when you lose your second parent because then all you have then are your siblings. My condolences to you and your family.

      Thank you Carol! I’m so blessed dad was able to make his reunion! He looked forward to getting out, loved sharing a good meal and being around people. It has been a long journey and at last he is resting. I’m sure in a recliner!

    Sorry for the loss of your dad. Jim helped the Mulberry community for 30 plus years volunteering as an EMT for Mulberry Volunteer Ambulance Service and Clinton County EMS. He helped so many families through emergencies starting way back in 1976. I am thankful for the knowledge he passed on to me and many other volunteers. I will keep your families in my thoughts.
