Memories and Condolences
for Mark Abernathy

Not sure what to say?





I've known Mark (& Mike) since elementary school, we competed in summer softball, then went to school together at Rogers and Wilson and got to know each other. We lost touch for years at a time but when we ran into each other we talked like old friends, last time in the late 90's. He was a good guy. I'm glad I knew him. Rest in peace.
