Becky..I just wanted you to know how much you have been on my mind. We have followed this painful journey for you and Mark..and are sending you so much love and hope for happier days ahead. 
I treasure the lifelong memories I have with Mark..from Chase Lake to the ballpark and then later at the bowling alley. I have known his family most of my life..and have been so blessed to have become friends with you through Cornerstone. 
Always here for you! 
Christie Reeder O’Brien

Mark was a special guy, and a best friend of my dearly departed brother George. Mark was always friendly and hardworking, and he enjoyed life.  His family, when we were teens, always welcomed us and we hung out by the pool table! He had great parties on Southside, 15th and 15th! 
My heart goes out to Becky who was a devoted wife to him, and to his brother Joe, and stepdaughters and everyone affected, including his many friends.
My prayers will be with you all, Becky. 

 “Precious in the sight of The Lord is the death of His saints.”
