From Ms. Alma Paz:

Today, with a broken heart, I stand without the love of my life, my soulmate, my hero, my husband.  There are a lot of things that are uncertain, but my love for Mark will never be one of them.  I will love him for eternity – it is that simple.  Until we meet again, my immortal love.  For, as my husband said, “I want us to remember that we are God’s gift to each other.”

Together we made memories that will last forever.  We laughed and cried together and shared the most wonderful moments.  His kindness, strength and humility touched not just our family, but all who knew him.  His kindness and contagious goofy sense of humor would light up any hearts in every room he was in.  And make even the worst day seem brighter.

I am beyond grateful that we were by each other’s side through our incredible journey.  I will never forget the love in his eyes that melted my heart every time he looked at me and said, “Angel face, you are the love of my life.”

Although he may be gone from this world, his legacy lives on, for he touched many hearts.  And in that way, my husband will always remain a part of me.
