"Dear Melvin and family, You have my sincere sympathy in the loss of your son, brother. Mark! We were in Kindergarten together, sat at the same table! He would follow me around probably because we knew one another! I will never forget his smile and those big dimples! I always cared about Mark, may he rest in peace! In thoughts and prayers , Becky Schaefer Starns"
In loving memory of
Mark Albert Illian
September 9, 1955 - June 16, 2019
