I met the Shea family when they moved to Cashell Road in Olney. I remember Mark well and am saddened to hear of his loss. I saw this Guestbook on Facebook a few minutes ago so didn't know about the service in time to attend. Rest in Peace, Mark.

I knew Mark thru grade school, high school and college. We use to ride horse at his house, Chris was his horse and thunder was McDonalds horse. Use to hunt the woods all over Olney. Sorry to hear he died so soon and hope he was at peace when he passed.
