To the family of Mark, you have my deepest sympathy. You may not remember me, but as a kid I lived directly across the street from you on Marquette. Mark and I played together constantly. I'm sure a good kid turned into a good man. I'll be praying for him with fond memories of an old friendship. I was just looking at a couple of old pictures scanned into my computer of us. May God be with you all.
