Lucky to have been friends with Mark since grade-school. He had a way of making you feel like royalty even if it was just handing you a slice of pizza.
His graciousness will live on in my heart.
Godspeed my friend.
We are all eternal.

Mark was the best neighbor anyone could ask for when raising children. He was always there to help us when it was needed, and I there for him. We would always count on each other when it was time to get the children from school. I must say he had a heart of gold when it came to his daughter Lauren and my girls.
He only wanted the best care and always worried like I did. Talking many years ago but I will say.
I will miss him a lot, and so will my husband. Jeannie & Walter Babcock
