My thoughts and prayers are going out for Janet and Mark's daughters and grandkids and Brother in law Randy and Mother in law Helen. I had the pleasure of being Mark's CNA while he was here in Parker Co. Mark was funny and kind and never a bad word for any of us. He was thoughtful and loving and said he felt like we were family to him. He is greatly missed and my heart goes out to Janet. She was is so sweet and kind. I miss her too. Thank you for letting me care for him. Mark loved his wife so much and not a day went by he did not let her know that. He spoke of how much he loved his twin daughters and how incredible they were in the last two years to help him out. He would have done anything in his power to help them and in the end they ended up helping him more than anyone will ever know. Rest in Peace in the arms of Jesus Mark. I know he hugged you and said "job well done my good and faithful servant."
