My heart is broke. Memories of a good man, son, father and friend. I was lucky to once be married to him and to become part of his family. The greatest gift was to have, share and raise our children into wonderful adults. They are my life. I have seen Mark everyday in Joey's face and Shirley in Layla's. They loved their dad and I know there no words for comfort but know he is at peace with God. I love all of you. Prayers for strength, faith and understanding for your loss.
