So sorry for your families loss at this time. Allow his wonderful memories to help you bridge the gap you will be feeling in his absence. Know that those memories are signatures of the love he provided in your life. Let that love lighten the heaviness you carry in your heart when you are sad. Its okay to be sad, it comes from the loving bond you shared in all those memories you made together. Those memories are forever, find the joy in that. God Bless his family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Mark at Quality Inn--back in the day. I remember one time playing the song game--from a word--had to sing a song. We rocked it!! He will be missed!! May memories help ease the pain.
