Condolence: Happy 40th birthday in heaven, Mark. It's so sad knowing you're no longer with us. I just wished we were able to spend more time together when you're still alive. And now it's too late and it feels empty losing you. You're the nicest brother and had the biggest heart. You're missed and loved!
Condolence: We had your memorial service today and you looked like you were sleeping and at peace during your service today. It was a wonderful service and your mom and I read our farewell poems for you. I tried so hard not to cry but after a couple of sentences, I was inconsolable. It hit me hard that it will be my final goodbye to you on earth. It was happy tears and will no longer see you in pain or with Fentanyl patches. Your suffering has ended and you can spread your angel wings now. We all went to a Chinese restaurant (your favorite) after the service and talked about your life. We were laughing so hard and felt your presence there. I even had an empty chair for you and told the waiter "Mark is sitting there." He looked at me and everyone at the table was laughing. I told the waiter you wouldn't understand the joke but honestly, I felt your presence with us. You're the best little brother I could ever asked for and until we meet again in heaven. Spread your wings my angel and fly high. Love you forever!
