Hi, my name is Catherine and my brother is Mark Swartz. He has been the light of my life all his life. Unfortunately, he has passed away suddenly. I'm a single mother and my mom is on a fixed income. My brother worked hard to be a happy, loving person who was friendly with everyone. He’s been the life of the party his entire life. For his whole life, all he ever wanted was to fit in and be included. He wanted friends, and he’s been having trouble mentally for a long time. Life was unfair to him growing up, and he made a lot of choices I'm sure he wasn’t proud of, but he’s always been a great human who loves everyone. The whole world seemed to love my brother, and with that kind of love, I can’t see myself not giving him the burial that he deserves. I am asking you to find it in your heart to help us give Mark the best send-off possible. I want to show my brother how loved he really is, even though he seemed to feel like he wasn’t. By God’s mercy, I pray for strength for my mom, and God, please give her peace. I just ask that if you can donate, to do so, and if you cannot, please share and get this out there for the help my family really needs. A simple share or prayer for my family—all help in all forms is appreciated.
