May his love, his heart and his stories wrap you forever in a warm blanket of memories for all of your days.

Mark was grateful for every day of his life, the good, the bad and the sad.He spent the last day of his life on earth preparing for a gig and a camping trip where we were going to have our first kayak of the season.

Mark was very happy and content to have it all prepared. We sat on our back stoop like every evening and he gave thanks for our love, music and friends and then prepared for bed. Mark phoned a few friends to express his happiness and joy with his day and his life.

Mark Patrick Petri's physical body has gone back to Mother Earth but his heart and soul will live forever in our memories.
