Dear Pam,
I haven’t seen my cousin Mark in many years. That photo of him, grinning broadly, and reading these words affirms my thought that he was blessed to have found love, peace and plenty of smiles. I’m so very sorry for the suddenness of his loss and that we haven’t met. Keeping you all in my thoughts.
Warmly,
Martha
