Dear Konni,
I'm sorry for the loss of your brother.
I am glad that I reconnected with Mark last year. We went back a long time...kindergarten, eight years at Our Savior's Lutheran, confirmation class...then Zion Benton. I have good memories of him and of your family.
Mark's heart was full of faith. May God grant you comfort knowing that your brother is in heaven.
