Praying for the Holy Spirit to be Nancy and the rest of
Mark's family their comforter in their time of loss.

Mark was our friend for many years. His "Grape Ape" SS/JA
was years ago my SS car. He was way more successful with
it than I ever was! We both raced 1966 Hemi Satellites in the
60s in So Cal.

My son and I will miss him.

Mark was a special friend and a Brother in Christ.
We created a close bond and friendship due to that each other had experienced the loss of a child.
My prayers to Nancy and the Kirby family during this time of grief.
God Bless!
