Dear Loved Ones in the Almeida family,
I know that Mark has gone to be with the Lord. He has been made new, just as he looks in the photo from the newspaper. He has been blessed to have so much family surround him, especially during the most recent years. Mark made a difference in the lives of many people with his community service. We will always remember and love Mark, as well as all of you. May God bless you with His peace and comfort that surpasses all understanding.
Love, Aunty Maisie, and cousins Debbie, Jeannie, Michael, Raymond and our families
