Yes, Mark Merrill was a really good kid. His sbliings and his mother and father are, indeed, in all our prayers. Those of us who cannot attend Mark's funeral today might offer a moment of silence at an appropriate time.Then we can look forward to a report from Tri-City Baptist Church pastor Mike Sproul, church spokesperson Garrick Taylor and IBC president David Brock on the results of their interviews with the 27 people who survived the hike.Mark's grandfather, Francis E.
