Dear Kelli,
I was saddened to hear of Mark's sudden passing. My heart goes out to you and your children. May God bring you comfort and peace as only He can bring through the Holy Spirit.
John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
May God bring you peace and comfort as you remember someone who was so dear to you. You will be in my prayers in the days and weeks ahead.

Kelli, Matt and Terry, I don’t have the words to express my sadness of the moment. My heart goes out to all of you. Having just lost Eleanor and now Mark at this time of the year is heart wrenching. I am so glad I was able to talk with him earlier this month. He openly shared his past with me in a phone call the lasted near 20 minutes as he was returning to work. He was so thankful for someone from family to call him to reconnect and share his grief. May God shower all of you with his Love & Mercy.
