Mark, and Donna have done alot with us, and for us. I have missed them for a long time...I will never see Mark in this life nor, maybe the next. I wish we still had him. I think about him every day, and miss him terribly. Because that "soon" time in the future that I was going to go to his house and talk to him!...is gone forever(sigh). I Love the Schroyers for coming into our lives. I miss "Marko".

He was a great friend, and confidante to me. He was a shining example to my children. We loved him and will miss him.
