To my dear sister Sue and nephew Brett,
I hold close the memories of visiting Mark and y'all in every Naval location he was stationed. I am comforted to know that Mark is now with his maker and walks with his parents and our Mom. He could not be in better hands. We will all meet again one day, but until then, rest in peace my dear brother-in-law.

A great friend in elementary and high school. When after he married, he would talk about how he loved his wife, so I got married and talk about how I love my wife. Thank you
