I will think of Mark whenever I help assemble worship bulletins or newsletters. She was a faithful office volunteer and a beloved member of Reformation Lutheran Church.
I remember the day she took me aside and said, "Mark isn't my real name...." After that, I called her Willa at Communion and Mark at all other times. She was and is a beloved child of God!

Rest in peace, favorite aunt. We will miss you sorely, but you will live on in our memories, especially of holiday celebrations, and times at the lakes with all your friends. We remember only good things about you, because you were such a good person.
