I am Mark's first cousin, Joan, who Mark affectionately called "Joanabelle" in the way that our Grandma Starner always did. I so fondly remember spending time with Mark at our Grandma & Grandpa Starner (who Mark really resembled as he got older), and also our Aunt Emerald's house when we were growing up. Mark tended to be a little mischievous, but was always lots of fun to spend time with as a kid. I loved meeting up with Mark a few years ago at his father's funeral. He was still full of spunk and vinegar, but in a great way. He spoke unabashedly of his love for our Lord. Mark told me much about his son, Stevie, who he loved so much. I am so sorry for his untimely passing. It hardly seems possible. It's so comforting to know he is with our Lord now. My condolences to all the family and those who loved him. I'm so sorry I couldn't be at his service.
Much sympathy,
Joan DeFraties Chinlund
