Never mind I messed up an early, important date between Mark and Jane ...As only Mark could, he made a video for my wedding to Michael Keegan - a S*M*A*S*H up of loved TV intro's and moments with much of his other brilliant planning of these opportunities.  I still have the tape - but no place to play it.  His future of  carefully planned books of travel and adventures, allowed me to continue to live vicariously through the joy and excitement of every destination  with his family.  One of Prince William Sound was of particular pleasure for me - as I was there.  I have seen how his vision has manifested in all of his children in individual ways.  Their goodness and kindness, his athleticism, his vision of visual art and planning, his open mind and love of being in love.  

He is an amazing sole mate for my sister and  strength for any idea of family and commitment to anyone.  He and Jane sacrificed a few visits with my Mom and Dad for me - priceless.  

My heart is reaching out - not breaking - as I am certain he would prefer - to be strong, love hard,  go for 7 continents and bring your WHOLE family with you whenever you can.  Or take lots of pictures if they can not be there.  

Our lives are better, stronger, more understanding for knowing you.  Love to you Mark - and of course to you all.  

A life well lived!

To Jane and the rest of the family I am so sorry for your loss. May his memory be eternal.
