I will never buy green bananas without thinking of Mark. :-). He didn’t say much but what came out of his mouth was either profound, absolutely hysterical, or incredibly kind. He will be missed by more than just his immediate family.

My heart is saddened by the passing of my father-in-law, and he will be truly missed. Love, Aris
Thanks Dad. You will be dearly missed by all.
Mark and Bev were very good friends and will be missed by all who knew them. He was a good boss and mentor. Nothing can separate us from the love of God…not even death.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of your Father. When Don was alive he really, really enjoyed their visits. They where both great people. My sincere sympathy.
