Unfortunately in eerie Mark fashion, the facebook comments section seems to be deteriorating into a yellow board pissing contest.  Much like here at times, some people don't know when to just sit back quietly, leave things alone and just shut the fuck up.

There's also a GoFundMe campaign underway to help the family alleviate some of the expenses which are quickly adding up.
