Dearest Charlsie, Gene and family,
Words can not express my sorrow, nor can I begin to understand the magnitude of your grief.
All I can do is pray that God will continue to hold you in His arms until the pain subsides, for however long it takes..

I love you so!
Your loving cousin,
Martha Anne

Geoffrey,Laura, Michael & John,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your Dad. He was a wonderful man and did so much for the community. Please follow his direction in life that he has taught you and make him proud. I know that he is already proud of his children. He left a legacy for all of you. He is not suffering anymore and it is so sad that he was ill and kept it to himself. That just shows what a proud person he really was. I love all you kids, if you every need me, I will be here. Also to his parents, you raised a wonderful son and we will all miss Mark, and to Regina, stay strong for your children, they need you now more than ever. I know that you loved Mark with all your heart.
Love always,
