Thanks for posting Tim and sure miss Mark here in our TRF family.

Also Laura glad to see you here too and Mark is so missed here. I can't imagine how hard it was in you. Glad to hear you are wearing his Sub as well. My best,

Dang, it's gotten really dusty in here. And I think all my neighbors are cutting up bushel bags of onions.

Yes, a year, I can't believe it, god I miss him.

Boothroyd, I did not keep the business, it took eleven months but I sold all bar one of the horses to great homes, the stables, round pens and tractor are sold. The tool shed remains a complete mystery to me and is this weeks job. I move from the farm in four weeks time and start job hunting in ernest (any suggestions welcomed!!)

Mark had planned to buy me a Rolex for my fortieth and one of our last conversations was that I was to trade his, of course I didn't and wear it myself on a NATO, he will be laughing at me as I always said i really didn't get NATOs. I love it.
All the best Laura!!! I love that you are wearing his watch and anything we all can do for you please let us know, you have nothing but friends here!!!

One year has passed and still, every now and then I think of him and realize that I do miss the banter we had as well as our conversations a lot. He was just an all around great guy.

It is good to see you posting here Laura, I hope you are doing well and I am pretty sure Mark is indeed smiling at the thought of you wearing his Submariner.

Laura,

Thanks for checking in. Just know that Mark was highly thought of here and although your loss is greater I know we feel we loss someone very special as well.

Thoughts and prayers,

Dan
