Shad's Birthday and Mark's Funeral

On Wednesday the 17th it was Shad's Birthday and also Mark's Funeral. The funeral was amazing. The family did a really great job. Mark's four daughters did a celebration of their Dad by taking turns saying what they remembered about their amazing father. The music was beautiful and the dedication at the grave was so peaceful. To give you an idea of how much Raelynne loved Mark here is what she wrote on the program. You can click on the program to enlarge it so it is readable! Also, Angie (the oldest daughter) made Shad a birthday cake. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it. Shad had almost all the strawberries eaten off of it before we got home. A BIG THANK YOU for the cake and for all of the thoughtfulness and love it is much appreciated!!!!!!




Since the funeral was the same day as Shad's b-day he celebrated in Dallas at the Monday night football game (Cowboys vs Eagles) which was an awesome game. We also celebrated last night. I made him his favorites...pork chops with honey mustard sauce, funeral potatoes and strawberry shortcake for dessert. He wasn't able to take pictures at the game (he didn't take the camera) so here are a few pictures from last night! Shad will never forget his Birthday it will always be a memorable day for him to always remember Mark.
