So sorry for your loss, may the Lord Jesus Christ comfort, console, and lead you through this most difficult time. I always enjoyed anytime I ran into Mark, always left with a smile on my face, and one on my heart.....we were in school together 55 some years ago.......may he rest in peace, and the Tears fade, for we are much better for having known him.
