We fondly remember Marc and all of his church visits and lunch encounters with our family. We especially treasure the horse-riding visit Marc had with our precious daughter, Julie, on the day before her tragic accident in February of 2003. May God continue to give you strength and peace as He has us!

My thoughts are with you all....

....When I was 5 yrs old my mother bought me a camera and I would photograph everything and everyone in site .......to this day I'm still photographing everything and everyone... personnal and professional!!!! I always wanted to give something special for people. I had the pleasure to photograph Marcus on several occasions and his family. I still can see his laughing and all of us acting crazy. We never know what tomorrow will bring us and this is why I love my job and the families that I have met. I am so glad that god gave me this talent to pass on to families to cherish for a life-time. I lost my mother and I look at photographs of her everyday and her spirt lives on with me..... The Camera gave me the occasion to get to know Marcus and his family so I got something special out of that also....frindship.... Again, my thoughts with you

I would like to say I'm truly sorry to hear about the lost in your family. I was a friend of Marcus' and will truly miss him. He was a wonderful person and had a great personality, he kept us all laughing all day. We even had a joke about him, "friendly" we called him "shoes" because of something he said one day. I'm sorry and send my condolences.



Love,
