    “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” ~John 14 – 4

    There are no words that can take away the pain your feel right now. There is nothing we can say to tell you we know what you are going through. It’s been just 6 months since JD took his life. Just know that we are thinking of you. If there is anything we can do, the JD Marek family will be there.

    I remember Scott teasing me at the legion as I sat with Steph and Duane playing bingo. He seemed so happy to pick on me and I loved the attention. I am so sorry for your loss. May God console you in your time of need.

    I am The Son Of Ernest and Estelle Carrier. Geneva and My Dad Ernest are the only 2 left out of the 6 Carrier’s Kids from Olga ND
    .
    We used to have huge family reunions during the summer up in the little town of Olga it was usually the one time during the year that we would see the Gustafson’s.
    I remember racing Terry and Scott down the street from the big Church to Grandma’s, we would laugh and Run and have so much fun….The Family has endured so much loss in the last few years, and now truly the most devastating one, for the simple fact a young man is gone and its not supposed to be like that.
    May God give the Family the Strength it will take to Make it through.

  15. Fargo ND
