Mark was a good neighbor and from what we could discern, a good husband, father, and worker too. We hope he and his family recover the serenity they all lost in the last stage of his life.
Please accept our condolences here, and apologies for missing the visitation and service; none of us is in great physical shape currently. Our thoughts are with you of course.
Best wishes and prayers...
The Gregg Family
