Sending deep condolences and prayers. It was evident how much Mark loved Reggi just by the way he looked at her. Christmas Bunko will never be the same. Mark's laugh was infectious and he was always so full of life. We will be thinking of all of you in the difficult days ahead.
God Bless, Eric and Shannon Bourquin
We will be out of town for his service. I'm sorry we won't be there.

My heart goes out to Reggie and family. Reggie and I worked in the same division at Texas Tech years ago. I always loved her sense of humor and down to earth view of the world. She always has sound advice to share. I hope you and your family will be able to focus on the joyful, positive memories of Mark. Doing so has helped me cope and work through the painful loss of several loved ones. I wish the same for you. Work through this time at your own pace, do not let others tell you what you should be doing or when you should complete the grieving cycle. It is completely up to you, how you feel and what works best for you as an individual. The same will hold true for every member of the family. Please remember to take care of you. DaNay
