      Mr and Mrs Mewes, I am so very sorry for your loss. I was in the same grade as Mark growing up. I remember one year he was not happy with his penmanship. When he came back to school after summer break his penmanship had improved greatly. He said he had worked very hard through the summer to improve it. He persevered and I was impressed. Just a small memory I have of Mark. My prayers are with you both during this difficult time.
