Our husband, father, son, brother, nephew, uncle and friend to all, was a gentle giant with a smile for everyone and a captivating grin on his handsome face. His world revolved around his family, church, and work, he loved all of them. Mark never spoke harsh words to anyone and he never spoke negatively about others. He was talented in a variety of ways and always desired to share this by being at the beck and call of anyone in need of help. His love for others showed in his constant service to them. Mark was polite and courteous and possessed a quiet pleasant mannerism admired by many.
Dear one, the days and nights will be lonely as we long for your presence, but we will be looking forward to spending eternity with you where we will all be together again. What a wonderful assuring promise we have to cling to! Thank you for good memories. We Love You!
