Peace and love are sent to you Sandy, Nick and all of Mark's family. I sure will miss Mark around Ahrensville. We enjoyed sharing our home grown tomatoes and swapping recipes. His welcome greeting and latest story was a pleasure to hear. Mark was the corn hole "king"! Good memories. I am so sorry he is gone from this earth.
