"our friend Mark"

Our dear friend Mark has recently been diagnosed with leukemia. So hard to wrap our heads around it. He is a father of three, a husband, friend and only 39 years old. So unfair that a strong, hard working, young man gets news like that. We think about you and your family every second of the day. For you to get stronger and healthier. How hard it must be to endure the pain, being away from your family, kids, job and just sleeping in your own bed. Once we get the ok, we will be down to see you.
Becky- stay strong. I can't imagine what you are going through right now. How a day can change your world and turn it upside down. Managing the kids and the strain of seeing your husband lying in a hospital bed with an unsure future. I am keeping up on your blog and LeRoy keeps me updated when he talks to you or Mark.
Tell everyone (Kathy, your parents, the kids) we are praying for the strength to make it through each day. He will be strong. And get healthier.
Take care of yourself. Call us if you need ANYTHING. Hugs for everyone :)
