Hi Jennifer,
I just learned today of Mark's passing from Loren. As Pat's sister I know what good and loved friends you are. I have met and spent time with the both of you on a few occasions and want to offer my heartfelt condolences to you and your family on your loss of Mark. He is gone from here but not completely. Not only is he in your hearts and minds, but from where he is now, he will be there for you when you need it with his caring and love; and, I feel that at times, you may feel his presence.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

We will miss Mark so much. He was the kindest friendliest person we knew. When he laughed everyone would take notice because it was such a great laugh. I used to tease him about his feet I would put mine beside his and then call him Bigfoot. He would laugh and laugh.
I spoke with him just on Tuesday night at the hospital and as sick as he was he asked about Garry and his job.
He will live on through his kids and grand kids. His laugh will always be heard!
We miss you Marco

Linda and Garry
