  • Rest easy, Boss. I’ll keep working on my golf swing and doing the thing I do at the shop. I’ll miss you forever.

  • Just a little note to express how hard this must be for all of you, because I can’t seem to get Marc out of mind. Jason he was so proud of you, so happy for how you’ve adapted and made better a life that his dad has carved out. Kelly, he was so proud of how strong and how much joy you brought to his life. I’m just his hairdresser but also the therapist and confidant . I miss him so much, as do you, more. I will never forget either him or denise, they have both touched my soul. God bless and keep strong and move forward, he would want that in us all, love kathy

    I’m heartbroken. Your mother and father were 2 of my most beloved relatives. Being with them and you in Arizona was a joy. You and your father golfing while your mother and I stayed in the pool. They are together again as they should be giggling like teenagers. I will miss them forever.
