Mark, you will be greatly missed by your family, friends, all those who loved you, and the many lives that you touched. The memories of the times that you, Jon, and I spent together are never far nor are the times that Diane and Connie joined us. Those were precious. Your loving family was just an additional bonus as they warmly greeted us at your cottage or in your home. I will always hold onto all of those memories and the great joy that they brought. Time has a way of sneaking up on us and too often leaving us to wonder "What happened?" After Jon passed that became us. How I regret that now, but too late. Though our contact was rare these final years, I always enjoyed our Christmas exchanges and the few times we spoke on the phone. Now I wish it had been more. You are now in the warmth of heaven with Jon, your dad, and Karl. I fully believe that God's love surrounds you and that the peace and joy you feel are in abundance. May the memories that bring tears to those who love you today, soon become pearls that offer tremendous joy. To your Mom, Mary Ann, all of your family, and friends my deepest condolences. Love, Jake
I believe Boomer was one of the nicest, loving people that I have ever met. His energy was a strong force here on earth and now into the ever after. I will truly miss our conversations and his way of laughing in the face of complicated issues. He touched my heart and I will carry his energy with me till I see him again!
Love to his family and friends for that is what he was all about:)
