Dear Ina and Family, I am deeply sorry and sad for the loss of John Mark. My heart goes out to you with sympathy and prayers. John Mark was a wonderful brother ( to all of us) as we were growing up and we loved him very much. I have many happy memories, such as when he caught his first mesurable fish (trout) and the first turkey he bagged! I can still see his smiling face. Wishing you God's peace. Love and prayers. Melissa
