Cita
“Oh, las últimas despedidas son las más difíciles de decir, y aquí es donde el vaquero cabalga hacia el horizonte.”

Our most sincere condolences to the entire family. We didn’t know Mr. Mark Goodpaster personally but we know his daughter Anna who is a blessing to everyone she meets. She’s strong, determined and kind and I’m sure she learned that from her dad, Mr. Goodpaster.
He leaves behind many memories and a wonderful daughter that I’m sure made him so very proud.
With love,
