It´s been decades since he´s passed, but he was a major person in my life. For most of my twenties, he was my life partner- and the memories of our years together are gifts I will treasure always. I think of him so often and it saddens me beyond belief that he isn´t in the world anymore. He was a loving, kind, funny, compassionate, charismatic man who was an extraordinary human being and I will love and miss him forever.

Mark was the funniest person that I have ever met.He was an important person in my brother's life and he soon became important to our whole family. I feel so lucky to have had the pleasure of knowing and loving Mark. He was infectious with his love and laughter.

TO THE FAMILY OF MR. GIBBS, I READ OF THE LOSS OF YOUR LOVE ONE AND WOULD LIKE TO SEND MY CONDOLENCES.

DURING THIS TIME IT IS ESPICALLY IMPORTANT TO DRAW CLOSE TO GOD IN PRAYER, FOR HE PROMISES THAT "HE HIMSELF WILL SUSTAIN YOU."-PSALM 55:22. HE ALSO PROMISES US THAT ALL THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP IN DEATH WILL RECIEVE A "RESURRECTION" BACK TO LIFE.-ACTS 24:15

PLEASE FIND COMFORT IN THESE PROMISES. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY.
