Dear Dave,Jan,&Tracy & children,
Our hearts are full of sadness of the sudden passing of Marc.Who could have known he's life would have been cut short this soon. But he made his life mean something, to every one who knew him.The last time I saw him was at Grandpa Phillips funeral,after the ceremonies were over,we all talked together an laughed together over the silliest things. Marc made us all laugh, and that he was a great guy and thats what I remember most about him.
God Bless you and keep you in his arms for comfort and support. If you need anything or just want to talk we are here for all of you.

Mark was my best friend. He taught me how to be a friend way back in kindergarten. He was the closest thing I ever had to a brother. I'm so glad we had that wonderful evening around Christmas with our wives and parents. That evening reminded me of all the amazing history that I shared with Mark and our families shared as well.
Dave, Jan, & Craig: You are my second family. I am so sorry for your loss. I will be there with you Monday. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.
Tracey and the kids: I know he loved you all very much. Thank you for taking such great care of him during the time you had with him.
