Hi Mark wir vermissen dich immer noch so sehr , glg aus Kaiserslautern

ich hoffe du hast deinen weg gefunden 

Music has always been a special part of my life, as it was for Mark's too.  We spent many nights sitting on the front porch, him playing his guitar and me singing the best I could.  He never complained about my horrible singing.  I only sing in choirs, so solo is very difficult.  There were a few songs that we did over and over, but this is my favorite. 

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills 
'Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Mmm Mmm... 
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder 
Children get older  I'm getting older too

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I, I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder 
Children get older I'm getting older too 
I'm getting older too
So, take my love, take it down
Oh climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down
And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down
Oh oh, the landslide will bring it down


I climbed that mountain for you... 
 

Tom Sawyer & Huckfin is what I called Mark and Chris it was because of some of their childhood adventures.They wanted to become Indians and to do so they had to clime up a tree naked they did so but one was caught o boy that ment trouble,they had to swallow a live mino, which they also did, and there were just so many more,
What a childhoodi it was difficult but also lots of fun.I will miss our talks about the world and listening to music while looking at pictures.Well now there is only Huckfin
and hard to imagin no Tom Sawyer. Mark had always been a happy go lucky little boy and fearless,as just a little boy he had climned on top of the roof of our house and was walking around I thought the familly would have a heart attack. he had 
called me and told me he finally bought the Harley and of course I worried but he was happy and that was what mattered. the name Boydoll came from our grandma, with his blond hair, blue eyes and rosey cheeks, he looked like a Boydoll, well there are just so many stories but it is time to let them rest. Goodby
Tom Sawyer, Boydoll and my beloved brother till we meet again.
love you forever.      
 

  
  

This picture was one that Mark sent me last winter.  It is one of my favorite of him.  Nathan (My son) and I will take good care of Ralph!

Ralph liked to keep to himself when we were visiting with our 4 loud kids! Last time, I was the last one out the door, and he came in and told me off in cat-speak. :) He was foremost in our kids' concern when we heard the tragic news. We know he will be taken care of, but we will miss Ralph, too.
