The only thing harder than asking for help, is saying goodbye.  Sadly, Mark Smith's mom passed away this week.  Growing up she made sure he had everything he needed, a commitment that still leaves Mark awestruck today.   The heartache of planning her funeral is magnified by the challenge of paying for it, especially since they are still facing financial hardship from their stepdad's loss to cancer last year.  If you are able to contribute anything toward her casket, headstone or service, it will be forever appreciated.  Through the good times and the bad, it's friends and family that help ensure we come out smiling. 

In Mark's own words, have a Grateful Day.
