Mark was a close friend of our family during his school years. He and our son were close friends during those years. He spent many hours a.nd days at our home, including a Florida vacation. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was a joy to be around. We are in Florida and will not be le to attend the service, but I will remember all in prayer.
