Mark, You were my second ‘dad’. You came into my life when I was in seventh grade. Without your love and support, I wouldn’t have been able to attend my university, you took a chance on a little ragamuffin and co-signed for me. I’ll never forget the call made to you to tell you i paid off my private I student loan you co-signed.  You said, “well of course you did! Thanks for boosting my credit score!” Haha! We celebrated at Green Lake and it was as just great. We ordered Christiano’s and you always bet me I wouldn’t eat my whole veggie pizza in one sitting while you ordered the dad’s special with *puke* anchovies 🤮last time I saw you, you were so proud of your new SUV. You showed me it and I gave you a hug and a back scratch. I teared up when I got into my car, because I was afraid it would be the last time I saw you, as I knew your health was failing. I love you and always will. Thank you for always being in my court and for all the love and support. Happy birthday in heaven xoxo  ❤️ ~Sadie
