After they retired from their jobs, they settled in Howardstown,KY in 1986. There has always been cattle on this farm. They raised lots of hogs, chickens, and Clara Jean always had a pack of dogs at her side. Along with the grain and hay, it is what we all would call our paradise.

And in 2020, they were wed in their home church of Freedom's Way in Hodgenville, Ky. Denise loves the farm, just as much as Mark. She is by his side every step of the way. In good times and in bad.
When Mark and Denise got married, Mark felt very blessed, because he recieved 2 girls, along with a loving wife. He is currently teaching the girls everything he knows, so that one day this farm can be ran by them and their future husbands.
