Mark and I shared many great times together on Arnold Drive, driving the Phantom, Ludie, E. Lee, you name it.

Dear Mrs. Gibson, Reggie, Julie & to the Extended Family members Family-

My memories of Mark start at Concord Elem. School and what fun memories I have of Mark! We continued to go to school (McCants/TLHanna) Basically, we just "grew up together" Good memories spent on Arnold Drive, as well, with all of us "kids" hanging out together in the neighborhood.

My prayer for you is that I ask GOD to "Wrap His Arms Around You" and give you the PEACE and UNDERSTANDING to know that on this day....Mark is sitting at the thrown of our Holy Father"

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

GOD Bless each and everyone of you, especially to you, Mrs. Gibson.
