Mark was my big brother. I remember how I was so proud to tell everyone who he was when I was younger. He was handsome, smart and athletic. He had a great sense of humor, and would give you the shirt off his back.

Somewhere along the line he got lost in his life.

I love you, Mark and will miss you. Say hello to Mom and Pop…Margie.
