Yesterday we recieved the terrible news that a very close family friend was killed in action in Afghanistan. This has been so hard to bear. I have known Mark and his family since the day I was born. Our families have spent so much time together these past 29 years that he truly was a brother. We did almost everything together. I am so grateful to have known such a wonderful, kind, honest, and righteous man. Mark was one of the first people sent in. He died while fighting for our freedom. He was very passionate about this, and went in knowing the risks. My heart aches for his family. We love you and will be there for you. I am so glad that my children were able to have such an amazing man in their lives. Mark you are Our American Hero. We love you, and find comfort in knowing we will be with you again. Below are some pictures Mark shared with me during his time in Afghanistan.

Mary, my heart is broken, and my prayers are with his family and yours. I know you were close.
Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. I think I saw this story on the news...maybe. Isn't it so nice to know the truth and have a testimony of eternal families and the hereafter.
