Kris and Adam,
My heart is broken and sorrow great. Mark was always there for me during difficult times of my life. He would always give a hug that would make me feel that all would be ok and safe. I would whisper "can I stay here" and his reply "as long as you want". One day he will greet me again with his special hug and I will ask "can I stay here?" He will say "stay as long as you want... you are home.
We love you, Jamie and Rey
