I’m so sorry for your loss to all of the family I will keep you in my prayers. Mark will be greatly missed and never forgotten. He was a friend to me like no other. If I needed help he was always a phone call away. He loved my daughter and son like they where his own. He spoiled my daughter to no end. They had a very special relationship together. I don’t think she will ever forget him. When my son turned 1 year old Mark bought him a gallon bottle of Jack Daniels. Mark told me when that boy turns 21 years old I want to be there to open the bottle with him. I tried to get ahold of Mark but couldn’t find him. Well my son is now 30 years old and the bottle is still not been opened. He is so proud of that bottle and tells the story behind it all the time. Mark I love you for the friendship you showed me. I love you for how special my kids and I was to you. Men like you are few and far between. I have greatly missed you over the years. RIP my friend!! ♥♥♥♥
