Gary and Vickie, I was so very sad to hear of Marks passing. He and my brother were such good friends in school. He was a dear friend to me when my brother passed away last June of 2006. Please know my prayers and thoughts are with you both.

To the Franklin Family,

You are in my thoughts and prayers. You don't know me but I read where Mark had died in a motorcycle accident. I personally know the heartache of losing a loved one. My husband, Joe died in a motorcycle accident March 5, 2006. We had been married for 30 years. He left behind a loving family just like Mark. I want you to know that with God and time, your days will be brighter but for now, you are experiencing a tremendous loss. I will pray for you and your family. Lean on your family and friends for support. My heart aches for you.

Take care!

Gary and Vicki, sorry to hear about the loss of Mark. I remeber many days as a kid staying at Uncle Lee Roy's and Aunt Laverne's. I really enjoyed those days. I will miss Mark and know that he is now in heaven with your mom and dad. May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Tammy Smith (daughter of Neil and Melba Smith)
