We will always keep him in our hearts as was just posted He Is The Mighty Oak. Those of you who knew him know when and how he pennnd those most truthful lyrics, and know we have another verse that is his. His band mates over the years have always joked with us and mark about staying awake at the wheel, and sandy would always yell at him to wake up. The Music, The Road, T he People, His Home was Mark. Our Hearts Hang Heavy and we ask those of you give any kind of support for Mark and his family and music to keep playing and listen closer to the man we called our brother. I even played him on the radio in Alaska and got calls about his music.<BR/><BR/>Mark we love you!<BR/>and thanks for showing us how to make floppy eggs you made a mean breakfast!<BR/>Lenny & Annie Norvilla<BR/>WWW.bluesnite.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321546625846996144.post-7550430059402446832009-02-27T12:55:00.000-06:002009-02-27T12:55:00.000-06:00Heartbroken in Mid-Missouri, where Mark had many f...Heartbroken in Mid-Missouri, where Mark had many friends and fans.
