We miss you Ziggy, but we are glad you are no longer in pain. We look forward to the great reunion day. Love you! Teresa and your buddy Russel
So sorry for the families loss. We knew Luther but not real well. The most important thing that Bub and I did know was that he made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior. Everything else is behind him and a bright future ahead. Love u guys.
So sorry for the loss of you dad. I remember when he use to work for Valley Bell, when our milk was delivered to our door. May the Lord comfort you all at this time. God bless you all, Teresa, Melinda & Jimmy. You all are in our prayers.
My prayers go out to Jimmy and the rest of the Marker family at the loss of their father. May God comfort you at this time. God bless
I always enjoyed Luther’s’ infectious laugh and am sure the family will miss him dearly. My dearest prayers and thoughts go out to family and friends.
