Mark´s life surely wasn´t complete here on earth, but he made quite the impact. For whatever reason, the Lord needed him and called him home. I know he´s missed tremendously by you and the kiddos. Always lifting y´all up in prayer. Love y´all

I am glad I got to spend time and see what a beautiful special family you and Karina and all the kids opened your home to me these will be cherished by me and that will last and stay with me. Life is so precious and we never know when our tome comes. Mark, as I read fought to live life to the fullest and when I was there I saw that he did that. I remember him on his HARLEY and Karina worried about him on it, but he did what he loved riding that bike as Adriana and I followed on the freeway!!!!!!! Now God has taken you for his needs and I know you will be looking down and watching and protecting your wife and children as you always did!!! You will always be with them. Rest in peace and I am glad I was able to share a part of your happy times with you. My prayers go out to all of his family Debbie, sisters and brothers and all the kids. I watched a video on Adriana's graduation and I loved the part where Mark said look at those shoes!!!!!! Her and those hot pink satin shoes. Well your daughter is following in your shoes Mark and proud of it!!!! If I find it in the States iI am gonna buy that Chocolate Tequila that you liked from Mexico!!!!!!
