It is sad to think at 21 years old Mark (Josh's brother) was tragically injured at work and died. We think of him today and know we will see him again.
I didn't get to know him well. Josh & I married November 1996 and Mark died December 4, 1997. Since he lived about an hour away and was 5 years younger than Josh, we didn't run in the same circle of friends. I look forward to getting to know Mark and see his beautiful smile again. He was always smiling when I saw him!

ReplyDeleteDear Josh and Bethany and Sophia Rae and Agibail Mae:
ReplyDeleteHow we long for the day when all of you can welcome Mark back and have 100s of years to get to know one another. Until that time, may the memories you do have comfort you.
Love,
Kiki and Nate
Death is a present day enemy but not a last one! Our hearts ache for the ones we have lost, but when I look at the new illustrations we have received in publications we can easily insert the pictures in our minds of OUR loved ones. Won't it be such an indescribable day when we see Dan and Mark again! We are so sorry for the pain you have to experience, but Josh, we are so very proud of the spiritual man you are and your Dad and brother will be so happy that you continue to serve Jah so well while they are absent. Love you all, Mom and Dad
