I am touched to see the comments. I think of Mark a lot too. I can still hear the loud, piercing laugh of Mark's in my head that made everyone stop and take notice. Such a big innocent kid at heart. He is truly missed and loved by so many. Yes Mark. I love you. Forever and always. Your little Sister -Sonya-

It's been almost a year and I think of you often. I miss your laugh, your curiosities, your singing and most importantly you. You taught me very important aspects of life and I know you are now free of your old human body and mind. I look forward to the day when I will see you again. In the meantime say hello to Mom and Dad and our other loved ones. I Love you and yes all of the women love you too, especially the blondes!

Mark always made me smile and laugh growing up. I remember his love for balloons and pigeons. He will always be one of my favorite cousins! I'm sorry I haven't seen him since Aunt Sandy's funeral. He will always be in my heart. He is with his loving mom now! GODSPEED MARKIE!
