My Mom called me to tell me about Marks passing. I have no words which is rare for me. Mark was my best friend when we were kids but I didnt know the adult Mark. I know his precious Mom, his fine Dad and his sisters and how awful this must be. I can only say God bless you and please stay spiritual. Parents should never have to deal with this and I am so SO sorry for your loss.

I was so sorry to hear of this great loss in your lives. Mark was a wonderful person growing up in school, he had so many friends. He always had a smile and had something funny going on. You were so blessed to have him in your lives. I am thankful that I had the priviledge of growing up around him both at church and school.
May God always be the wind beneath your wings.
God Bless you all

Penny,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss of Mark. I can remember when you two first started dating in high school and were, truly, one of the few high school sweethearts I know that eventually married. You remained so adorable over the years and looked so cute together the last time I saw you at our reunion. Please know I will be praying for you and your family.
