I always think of Mark fondly when I remember him. We had a lot of good times together as he tried to help me in selling insurance. But that wasn’t my calling and he was glad for me when I went back to preaching Christ.
Trudy and family- I am so sorry to hear of your husband’s passing. I pray that God will send his comfort and peace as you walk through the days ahead
My sincere sympathy to Trudy and family. I always enjoyed visiting with Mark and liked his keen sense of humor. Blessings!
Trudy…..
So sorry to hear about the passing of Mark. Will always remember our talks at the vet office about our husbands.
Thoughts and prayers are with you and the family, even the furry ones. LOL

My heart is deeply saddened I have lost a true friend. I always knew Mark had my back when the chips were down. He will be deeply missed and his favorite saying ah Jesus.

Dear Trudi
I remember Mark very well in the 80s and 90s, he attended St. Rose then.
God rest his soul.
And how I remember your own parents too, so kind.
Grant to all then now eternal rest.
