I'm so glad that I had the chance to call Uncle Mark family. He was always so good to be around. He had so much love to give no matter how tough he was. He will always be remembered with good memories, will continue be loved, and forever live in our hearts. Can't wait to meet again! <3

Best gift you ever gave me. Thank you Mark.

Mark was a man who loved his family with all his heart. He respected me as a person and as a father of his grandchildren. I thank him for all that he has taught me. His spirit will always live in our hearts. My Nadia knows that her Papa is up in the clouds and stars. I will miss you Mark.
