Barb, Jim, Eian, Alec, and Adam, learning of the death of Marc was something I just did not believe, so young and with so much to live for , it really sent a blow to my heart. However he is in a far better place then he was here, when God gives us these loved one's he makes it clear that he wants them back, we just never know when. I am sure it must be important for him to have taken Marc so soon!! He was a nice person, he loved you two and his 3 son's very much!!! He will be missed, however Iwill keep you all in my prayers that God's arms hold you close in the coming days and weeks. Take care and God Bless, Love , Gracie Jenkins
