On your 3rd anniversary
Gone but never forgotten , Mark we still think about you all the time.
I often think about you and all the great things we did together
You stood by me while I joined the navy and was always there when I came home.
You checked on my parents while I was overseas making sure if they needed anything you handled it for them.
You were my best man at my wedding .
And even watched each others children grow to be adults
I wish you were still here to meet my grandchildren , but Im sure you can see all of us .
I will never forget you buddy and you always hold a special place in our hearts .
Donna and John

I just found out about Mark's passing. I am so very sorry for your loss. Growing up on Paine St Mark was always a fixture in our home as he was a good friend of my brother Scotty and their friendship continued through adulthood. Throughout the years I would see him and we would talk up some memories. Many funny ones. Gone but certainly not forgotten.
