Whom ever made this beautiful journal about my family! All I have to say is….Thank you! Thank you so much!
Mark Boynton’s youngest daughter,

Yay!!! I’m so glad you found this! I was hoping when I made this that it would help connect family members together. I am Mark’s cousin, Jaena. I grew up with and sure loved your dad. Unfortunately we lost track of each other over the years. I was so sad to hear of his tragic passing.
Mark and Paul were my fellow troublemakers whenever my family would visit Salt Lake and I have fond memories of playing at the nearby gravel pit and helping Aunt Cleo make homemade root beer. They both were the funnest cousins I had.
