Dear Best Friend -
I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated you over the past few days. You know that that this past week we have expereinced the lost of my brother Mark. I can't tell you how much it meant to me that you were by my side during the funeral and the trip to Missouri. You are truly my best friend and I can't imagine my life without you.

Kenneth,
I am so sad with you and your family at Mark's unexpected passing. I cannot even imagine what it must be like to lose someone you grew up with and did daily life with for so many years. I know that you weren't as close as you would have preferred, but I know that you are a good man, and I know that you were a good brother to Mark. I am confident that he loved you and that he knew you loved him.
I wish I could take some of the sadness away from you and your family and that I had some magic words to say to help. I know how much I love our children, and my heart deeply aches for your parents. It is a pain that no parent should ever have to experience.
My selfish wish is that I could have known Mark better. I wish I had taken the opportunity to try to bridge the relationship between the two of you more. I think I could have, and it makes me very sad that I didn't try. I want more than anything to use this as a building block to try and create a closer bond between you and your other brothers.
I love your family because I love you, but more than that, I grow to love them more and more, completely on my own, just because they are GREAT people and I sincerely enjoy being around them. You are blessed to have such wonderful people as your family.
But even more blessed, am I, to have you as my husband and my great love. Mark's death has helped me to remember God's words that each new day is not promised, but a gift. Let me not go one day without seeing you as the special gift that you are, and without telling you how much I love you. Thank you for being so incredible.
I am so sorry for your loss, my love. Please always know that I am here for you,
Shonda
