A friend from afar: I met you when I visited but, you were a friend at heart from the start. My brother (Keith Neff) best friend you guys were like more than friends could be, if I ever saw two people there for each other through thick and thin it was the two of you. Mark you were such a great person and always made everyone feel comfortable around you. I will miss you on my next visit but I will never forget you ever in my heart thanks for being you and being my brothers friend. Love to you forever.
