Condolences:

To the family of Marks sisters and brothers-
Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this very sad time. I will always remember your family as our dearest neighbors years ago. Mark is exactly 10 years younger than me, as I believe Leonard and I are about the same age. This is truly a difficult time I know, but as dear as Mark was to your parents, I know the Lord will surely return his love to Mark and the family.

We are very sorry to hear about Mark. We are so glad to have seen him at Dad's funeral in March and had such a great chat. We always enjoyed visiting Tillie and Mark when we were in town. God Bless You All.
