One of the very first friendships I formed when a bartender at Genes Sports Bar was with couple by the name of "Giggles" Kristi and Mark Goodlin. Little did I know at the time, but these two would end up being the hugs and encouragement I'd need to help me through some incredibly rough events in my life. They always seemed happy and it never ceased to amaze me how they smiled thru just about anything. I never thought I'd read about Marks sudden passing. Not in MY lifetime anyway. He will be GREATLY missed. Kris, we may have lost contact a few times but my word stands true. I am here for you and would drop anything to be of help wherever you need it most. That's what true friends do. I know God blessed my life and made me a better person because I knew you two. If you need anything or any help, or, just some broad shoulders of a forever friend.....I'm here. I love you sweet lady! So very sorry.
