Mark Sr, you and your family are in my prayers for the passing of your son, Mark. May the Lord comfort and bring you all strength as you make your adjustments. Remember the good times and that God is by your side. I did not know Mark Jr, but I feel that he was a chip off the block of his father whom I worked with for several years. Blessings my friend!

Dear Vickie and Elizabeth,
No words can express the grief I felt when Irma told me of Mark's passing. I remembered Mark as a little boy when I lived in Houston and would visit Irma and Mark would be at the house with Andrew. What a handsome and charming boy I remember saying. I will always remember and keep Mark in my heart and memory.
My dearest condolences to both of you and the family.
Linda
