  • Mark brought his beloved dogs to me for grooming for many many years. He never had a negative thing to say and always told me I was “the best”. I will miss his smile, and his kind words and just the overall good energy that he brought into my life whenever he and his dogs paid me a visit. I will never forget him.

    Karen I will miss seeing you every few months, I hope you take care. My heart is broken for you. If you ever need me for anything you have my number.

  • Marc was my step brother and although we were not raised together or we were not close in age he treated me as a baby sister each time we met. He teased me as a kid . He was an adult when I became his step little sister. He’d sit next to me watching my tv shows and make fun of my shows.. “Which way did he go Flipper” then he’d laugh that giggle Hee Hee of his. He loved our Dad and after a fashion, my Mom Norma too. I will remember his laugh and the way he had our Dad Charming personality. Rest In Peace Marc and save a place at the family game table for the rest of us kids..
