Family reunion - We will miss you Gordy

I got this email this morning.

What a great family heritage I have.  I am humbled and grateful for those who have gone before. 
I have no doubt that my dad's Uncle Gordy will be welcomed with a "well done, good and faithful servant."

Greeting to all.  

Just to let you know a Peterson family reunion began last night when dad received his promotion to join the ranks of saints.  I spent the day and night with him and was with him when he transferred residency to heaven.  It was a beautiful time together.  We are in the process of arranging a service, possibly next week.  I'll keep you posted as to when that will be.

Thanks for your continued prayer support and love to all of us.

Love, Gwen

Mark Kraakevik

Although he is a Colorado native, Mark's family also lived in Iowa and Chicago when he was young. They moved back to Evergreen, CO, in 1982 and he graduated from Evergreen High School in 1987 (Go Cougars). He graduated from Bethel College in St. Paul, MN in 1991 (Go Royals) and received his Masters of Divinity from Denver Seminary in Englewood, CO in 1994(Go...bookworms). Since 1992, he has been a youth pastor in Iowa, Minnesota and Colorado. Mark and Heidi returned to Colorado in 2001, and are enjoying living in the community and raising their family here. Mark and Heidi have two daughters. His lifetime goal is to love God and to enjoy Him forever, and to share this passion with everyone he meets. Unlike most people, Mark loves speaking in front of crowds, which he does as often as possible. He loves motivating his friends and family to uncommon acts of love and service through creativity and humor. Mark also loves jazz and winter. He is afraid of snakes, bears, and the ocean -- which is weird in light of his Scandinavian heritage.
