Mark was a great neighbor. He was always willing to help his neighbors any way he could. Plus he really kept his property up. I will miss him.

Dear Brother, the last thing you said to me was “Love you.” This was not the outcome any of us expected, but I will carry those words in my heart.

Yvonne, I am grateful for the years you had with my brother and the life you made together. I am so sorry.
