My most sincere condolences to the family for your loss. Mark always had a smile on his face at work, at the YMCA when working out, at a friends house and/or when volunteering in the community. In our last conversation, he mentioned riding his bike to his sister's house (no hills there so it was quite easy) and attending church and missing some of his friends in Salem, VA but always reaching out on my birthday. You will be missed. Rest in Peace.
