Hey Mark. I want you to know that I think of you often and how missed and loved you are by so many. I pray for your Mom and family for some peace knowing we will see you again and you are always with us. :) I think of boat camping and Friday Harbor when I think of you. What a gift those amazing times were. The "oyster guy", the beautiful views and the fun of boating. Going through the locks with your boat, and watching your talents, was surely a sight to see. Until we see you again Mark. :)

May the road rise up to meet u
May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face And the rain fall softly on your fields And until we meet again, may God hold u in the hollow of his hands
