With a heavy heart, My son has been asking about Mark and Alex, Bobby would work with Alex at the BMX Track. My response was I think Alex is an exceptional Hockey Player. Bobby said kid was great on a bike, his Dad coolest dad at the track. I said good people miss the whole family. We may never see you at the track again but for the short time we had the positive impression left made its MARK.
Bobby has just built a bike in honor of all who fight the C.

I was shocked to hear of Marks passing. I knew this man as a boy who loved to smile and have fun. He played baseball as an All star team member. Funny how a young boy can impress. My heart is saddened to know his presence in this world has been short lived. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family who now carry this pain. Gods blessings are pouring down to comfort and hold you close.
