I will always love and cherish the memories I have with my Uncle Mark. He was an exceptionally kind and giving person. I will always remember when I would visit as a child and he would bring out stuffed animals and toys for us to play with. We always had fun and I will miss him dearly.

I always loved visiting my uncle Mark.
