Mark was an incredible guy and all around good person - we have all lost a great friend. Leslie, my heart goes out to you and the kids. I hope his love and your memories help you get through this tragic time. From the moment he met you it was obvious you were the girl for him. Your family was the most important thing in his life. He is gone way too soon, but he will be remembered with love in so many hearts.
