Margie and Mark, thanks for coming to share in our celebration of holy union. May our devotion and love endure life's insults as well as yours.
A good man, a good friend, quiet and deep, with lots of patience with little-boy energy for incessant video games. Right, G?
That's right, Margie -- we lift our glasses, a wee dram in his memory and feel his pleasure in good company.
