Mark thank you for all your kindness.

My condolences go out to all that mourn the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort in the love of friends and family at this difficult time. (Acts 17:31)

The bond was set as kids, Mark always had a place in my heart. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Mark. My heart goes out to his family. I'm sure Marky will make more friends in a month up stairs, then most make in a lifetime.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Words can not express how deeply sadden me and my family were to hear that Mark had passed. I've known Mark since he was a little boy of about 5yrs old.

My thoughts and prayers are with all the family right now. May God bless all in this difficult time.

Mark, you were always a very sweet person, even as a child. You have one of the biggest and best smiles I have ever seen and a heart to match it. Your laughter and good humored nature was infectious. Always pulling pranks and teasing. You have been loved and will be greatly missed by all who have had the privelege knowing you. Give Jeanette a big hug from everyone down here who misses her. Love you!
