Yesterday afternoon I received a message from Nana informing me that Uncle Mark had passed on Sunday (6/8/2008) morning.  Uncle Mark was definitely a one-of-a-kind human being and I feel blessed that I am able to call him my Uncle.  Although the time I spent with Uncle Mark was short, it was always quality and for that I'm am very thankful.
