We share your sorrow in the loss of Mark. His spirited ways, joyous laughter, steady grin, and sharp wit will be a part of your life forever living within your memories for years to come. Our deepest sympathy and heartfelt sorrow goes out to you during these very difficult times. We know you will miss him terribly, and so will many others who had the good fortune of knowing him.  Jackie, we remember you and Mark, as close friends as well as a brother in our minds, prayers and our hearts.  With Heartfelt Love and Sympathy.

With deepest sympathy for your loss. Still, you were blessed to have such a manifestly good and jolly man in your lives. Small consolation at this time, I'm sure, but over time it will matter.  He lived and died well.  God bless him for that and God bless you all.

Mark was so gracious to agree to officiate our wedding in Playa del Carmen, it was one of the best moments of our entire lives. His warm and fun loving personality was infectious and it's clear that he touched many people's lives in all of the amazing things that he has done. Jackie, Bill, and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you daily.

Jackie Ann, I am so sorry and thank you both for your friendship and sympathy for my Miss Ellen, only 3 months earlier.

Mark was a great inspiration to all here is a poem that I wrote:
You put a smile on someones face twas your only task,
to hear the joy in laughter and removed the bitter mask
erased a frown of sorrow one of pain and woe ease abit of suffering allow some joy to flow
for each smile is a ray of hope 
that pierces the darkening gloom 
each time that smile is found again we move further from our doom........
Mark could always make someone smile and forget their worries for a while
 Mark taught me alot of life lessons that I still practice today. 
I have so many great memories that I cherish.

Mark was an inspiration to me throughout my life. We did not communicate regularly, but you were thought about everyday. We both had cancer, I am still being monitored, and you helped me through the learning process. You were my shoulder to lean on. Your sincerely, cheerfulness, and devotion to others was an inspiration to everyone you emulate. You will be sincerely missed.

Jackie, I know the irreparable loss you have suffered and fully realize their is little that I can. say to help you in this moment of sorrow. In time, you my find personal reassurance in the thought that Mark past away as he wanted with the one he loved.

Our condolences from Tucson
