I am sad to say I can't remember the last time I saw Mark. I remember many summers ago our family would go to visit our Aunt Lorita and cousins. Those were some good times. Mark was 6 years younger than me and I could remember a little skinny blond headed boy who had plenty energy. Our prayers are with you guys and hope you can find some peace during your loss.
Love Yall, Ray & Dot
