So sorry to hear about your Dad. I remember him at the farm. I’ll never forget watching him have his ponies roll up the hill. He was a very nice man.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your father and companion. May you be comforted by your memories of him. May you find comfort from God’s promises to remove sickness and death from the earth forever and to wipe the tears from all faces. Isaiah 33:24 and Isaiah 25:8 May your hearts find peace and comfort at this difficult time.

My condolences to Dave♥, Nancy, Dale & all the family. I have a lot of good memories of the Jager Farm when I was a teenager. The only name I ever called him was Farmer & he must’ve liked it because he always had a big smile for me. Blessings to Farmer on his new journey ♥
