May your family and friends find comfort in God’s promise to “swallow up death forever… and wipe away the tears from all faces” (Isaiah 25:8). Along with the assurance of a time soon when “death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4. (Acts 24:15). My sincere condolences to your family.

It is with great sorrow that I read of Mark’s passing. He always had a smile and a hug for me, as did Karin, even though it would be a long time between catching each other – at a pizza place or downtown Helena. His courage and positive nature were an inspiration! I’ll miss you dear man!
