Uncle Mark

Uncle Mark has leukemia and was given a month and a few weeks to live. He is only 57 years old, so it is really hard to see him go. He is a kind and loving people person!! He is 6’9”! The boys are constantly asking “where Dad comes up to” on Uncle Mark! We love and adore him!!

Josh told me that Uncle Mark was hoping for some nice weather this week or next so he could play on his 4-wheelers! Trent heard us talking and that night in his prayer he said, “Please bless Uncle Mark will have a lot of fun this week or next!”

Josh and I were able to visit Mark Monday, April 6th! We chatted with him while he received platelets in IV Therapy at UVRMC! He is amazing and calm!! It is hard to express all your love for someone and what they have meant to you! (Especially for me, I have a hard time putting anything into words!) But we tried! He is so kind I have always thought of him as the “Gentle Giant.” We love him and will miss him greatly!!

  1. Totally have to disagree with you when you say you can't put things into words. To me, you always seem to know exactly what to say! You are always making everyone around you feel like a million bucks! It's a real talent.

  2. What an honor you paid to clearly a special man. I agree with the previous poster. You are very eloquent and do a great job conveying how you really feel.
