We are saddened by the news that our dear friend Mark B passed away yesterday morning after battling Sarcoma. We are comforted that he is no longer suffering and continue to pray for Beth, Tony, Nick and Erin that they will continue to find strength and comfort in the many wonderful memories they have shared through the years. Mary and I cherish the many good times that we have shared with them and will always have a special place in our hearts for Mark.

**********************************

Absolve, we beseech Thee,
O Lord, the soul of Thy servant Mark,
from every bond of sin,
that being raised in the glory of the resurrection,
he may be refreshed among the Saints and Elect.
Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
