My sincere condolences goes out to the family. May you find a measure of comfort from Acts 24:15. As you treasure the memories of your loved one just remember that we will be comforted by the God of Comfort. 2 Cor. 1:3,4.
I wanted to add my condolences, I remember Mark & Sue from my childhood as my mother was friends with them, Mildred Gardner. I always loved reading their Christmas cards telling what Jeff & Suzanne were doing! We all grew up & then mother moved here & lost touch with many. Sorry to read of his passing! God Bless!
Sending our sincere sympathy to the family. We were so sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. Sorry we did not attend the service, but did not learn of his passing till Saturday.
With caring thoughts and prayers,
Emma Jo Buckner, Bonnie Carver and families.

To Mark’s family,..so sorry to hear of his passing in early April. I had known Mark for many years here in Miami Lakes and enjoyed his company both from a friend’s standpoint as well his keen wit and political acumen. We will miss his frequent ‘letters to the editor’ comments in the Miami Herald which were always pithy and to the point.
Thanks Mark for being a friend and for your service to our country in the Navy. You will be missed by many. My sincere condolences to the family on the loss of this wonderful person.
From the Navy Hymn:
‘ Eternal Father strong to save whose arm doth bind the restless wave, who biddest the mighty ocean deep, its own appointed limits keep,..o hear us when we cry to thee..for those imperil on the sea’
Rest in peace.
