A Life Cut Short, A Life Lived Long

John and Mark have both stood beside death this month — Mark marking the second anniversary of his 21-year-old son David's passing, and John saying goodbye to his 103-year-old mother-in-law Johnny, who spent her last hours on a broken hip preaching Christ to the EMTs.
