BF_in_Indiana Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I was informed today that my cousin Mark has passed away from a heart attack. He was in his early 40's and living in a state home for the mentally disabled. He was born with a fever and the hospital didn't treat him properly and he developed severe retardation. He was never able to enjoy the things that most of us take for granted yet he always had a smile on his face. He adored my brother and I and I always loved getting to see him. I hadn't seen Mark in a couple of years as he usually only got to visit around the holidays. I just wanted to share this with everyone and take a second out to remind everyone that no matter what may go wrong in our lives, we will never have it as bad as Mark did every day. He took what life gave him and made the most out of it. I love you Mark and I hope that God is allowing you to enjoy in Heaven what you couldn't here.
Dennis in NC Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I'm sorry to hear that, BF. The good news is that Mark is happy and healthy now, and as fully able as anyone in the afterlife (we can only wonder, of course).
Reuben Gant Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 Sorry to hear that Brother, hope you can remember the good times. may he rest in peace.
BILLS4LIFE Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 Sorry to hear that,Brandon. My thoughts are with you and the family.
