Sad news.
We’ve lost a good friend this week. If you knew Amy Oak you knew she was a huge supporter of our market, its values and most of all, the farmers. She was at our very first market in July of 2005 and almost every Saturday after that. She will be missed, deeply. Her obit is here: https://pages.giveforward.com/medical/page-ltq8b64/
Services are Sunday at the Muskegon ISD, 630 Harvey St. 2-5pm with fellowship after.
