I can't believe he is gone. What happened? Call me please. I'm going to look through pictures for any I might have of him. I might have pictures of him when he was younger. I'm going to miss my older brother Mark. I'm sorry to hear he passed. Prayers are being sent to you Anita, Jackie, Kelly and Brian. Now Dad and Mark are together in the big campground in the sky. He is surely missed.
