  1. Marina, I am so sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. I wish I could take away the pain. Please be comforted by the knowledge that an army of friends prayed for the two of you. May he Rest In Peace and may you and yours find solace in love.

  2. Oh Mark, my little brother. My heart is broken. I’m remembering the time you were born You were so special being born into the family of three girls. You were spoiled by mother, daddy and all your three sisters. I remember all the laughs we had over daddy pretending to be jealous of you because he said mother loved you more than anything. Mother would bake cakes and would not cut it until you got the first piece. Daddy would act like he was so mad but we knew he was pretending because he wouldn’t let any of us cut it either. I remember you giving your new bike away hundreds of time while you were learning to ride it😂😂😂. But the most I remember is you being so sweet about taking care of me because of me being such a scaredy cat at night. You’d tell momma “I’m going to stay with Lolly tonight so she want be scared. I love and miss you so much already, Mark🥲. I wish I could have spent more time with you but circumstances just put a stop to that😢. But I know without a doubt you knew how much I love you and I know without a doubt you loved me and the rest of your family. I’m praying for God to be with all of us as we go through loosing you. You are and will always be our special brother,son, daddy, granddaddy,great granddaddy and friend. Rest In Peace Mark, you’ve earned it. Love you so much💕💋

  3. You have been so brave though all of this. I greatly admire your courage and steadfastness. You are in my hear and prayers
