I am thankful for the times I spent with Mark. He was my gentle giant cousin. My kids heard the stories I had with Mark. My son is much like the gentle giant Mark was. Mark gave the example of what to teach my son of how to be a gentle giant.
I will always love and miss Mark, from his cousin

I love you, Mark! You were a very kind, humble and warm person and a precious cousin. I have so many happy memories of you, especially from our childhood growing up together. I will miss you dearly. I know you are rejoicing with Jesus in heaven and I will see you again. Our prayers are with you Aunt Betty, Caren, Bev, and Johnny and your children. We know our Heavenly Father is helping you through this. We love you, Sandi and Craig

Mark, Mark, Mark...my heart is broken. If you only knew!!! A lifetime is never enough time. My memories have you in them from the beginning...and we had some really great conversations! Some really great laughs. And we shared some really sad times too over the years. I always wanted to help you and I did try so many times. Boy, could you be frustrating and make me crazy (smiles--you know it's true) but you were my brother and I loved you. I love you still. Your passing has left a hole in so many lives and we are forever changed by it. Your hugs were huge and the very best. Until the day we meet again baby brother...give Dad a hug frome me.
Love,
Caren
