Even though we havent seen much of Mark in the last few years we have very fond memories of him when he was younger. Going to Rays moms house it seemed that Mark was always there. He spent a lot of time with her when she was very sick for about a month. Unusual for a young boy, but that was the kind of person he was. She shared this with me today. We all will miss you Mark, your passing will be a great loss to our family. May you rest in peace.
