Mark and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Even when you know in your head...your heart never truly believes. I am sure that my Shawn (who had the most beautiful blue eyes ever) has already given her a big hug and a few laughs and of course a ride on his Harry Potter flying broomstick.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Fondly, Liz
