I. Am overwhelmed with sorrow for Debbie and the whole family. God only knows why. I was told from a few people that I should never ask, so I did my best trying not to. It just is I suppose. But it is comforting to realize that Mark is now in. Heaven with all his ancestors and loved ones. He can come visit us at any time and he can be anywhere. I will keep him in my prayers and I am here if you need someone to listen. God bless you…

It’s been a long time since I have seen Mark, but he made an impact on my life. I will miss him, and ask for grace and peace for all of you during this hard time. Please know you are in my thoughts and daily prayers.
