It's time.
We have put Mark on hospice and will bring him home in the morning. He hasn't really woken up since late last week (or really hardly at all since surgery right after Christmas). He has stopped eating and drinking and it's only a matter of time at this point.
If anyone wants to come visit, he'll be home soon. We welcome visitors, but just be warned that Mark most likely won't be able to communicate with you.
I just want to say a great huge THANK YOU! to everyone who has been so supportive through all of this! I wish I had the energy to thank everyone individually. I've really appreciated all the e-mails, Facebook notes, texts, phone calls, gifts, acts of service, visits, prayers, comments, all of it! I haven't always been good about taking the time to respond to each individual note/e-mail/text/gift (nor have I always known who they were from), but they were all received and are all appreciated. Thank you!

I'm glad we got to see (and sort of talk to) him while we were in town. Let us know if there's anything we can do for you.
We love you Rachel, your amazing husband, and your precious children.
You and your family are in my prayers. God Bless you and your 5 beautiful children

I just wanted to leave you a note to say that I knew Mark in Junior High and High School. He has always been a tremendous guy. I remember him as being quiet, but strong, and good-natured.
I know that even though he will pass on, he will not cease to love you and your children. He will not cease to pray for you, and he will not cease to labor in your behalf. Salvation is a family affair, and he will be with you always.
I will be praying for you.

I'm grateful for the few months I had to be your visiting teacher and get to know you and Mark. I was so impressed that when we came over to visit you, he would take time to sit in and visit with us while we were there. It was clear he loved and was interested in others. My heart is breaking for you that you have to be apart.
Praying for you and your family.
No words will ever communicate the loss nor shed the pain. Although I've never met him, I'm certain he was too loved and too young to leave so early in life. My heart goes out to you and your loved ones. My thoughts are with you and your kids during this time. Let me know if there is anything I can do.
