Marion, and family...

I saw Mark at our class reunion this summer and we shared stories of our school days, and the neighborhood gang. What fond memories we have of our childhood, and our families...I remember you all fondly, so it was with great sadness that I read of your loss.

On behalf of the entire McAllister Family...please accept our most sincere sympathies, and know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
