I was told about Mark just last night, admittedly it brought me to tears. I don't know what it is about getting older and never letting go of moments in the past, as small as they may be. Mark has many of those spaces in me and I guess always will. Rox, Cody and Ashley your Dad was an awesome man and he is being remembered today.

This was such a long and difficult journey for Mark and his family. I will remember him for his frequent praises in church and having a positive heart while waiting for his transplant. Praying for healing and peace as you process his life and his contributions to your lives. We know he is tight in the arms of the Lord today and we will see him when we get there; he will not be forgotten.
Blessings and Love,
Liz & Bill
