I did not know Mark personally; however, I knew his Papa Jerry and know his grandma Betty Lou. My heart is heavy for your loss. During these most difficult times God whispers words of peace and comfort. My prayer for all of you is to find the peace that He will give. Cherish the memories.

Sheila, My heart truly goes out to you. Wish I had known him better. Try to focus on the good memories. And remember your other children need you still. It's easy to give up but how you are feeling is how your children would feel without you here. Even though we have lost contact you are still family and I pray you find peace. Love you

You shined brighter than gold my friend. You brought an energy wherever you went that could not be replicated. You had the heart of a lion, and the courage of a thousand spartans. You are one of a kind. Ill never forget you.
