My most sincere condolances to you, Susan, and your family. Although it has been several years since I have seen Mark, I remember very fondly the memories we had together: cooking the spiciest Mexican food we could; the 4 a.m. Sunday drives to pick up "Lefty" and head off to Hickory Hill to tee off at "first dawn;" and the many times we had to convince Mark not to "give up his day job" to turn golf pro...his second love, behind you and family! I will miss Mark, but will have the memories forever. Best regards.

Dear Susan, Kendra and Col, I am so sorry for your loss. Mark was a wonderful friend and neighbor. His willingness to always lend a hand to me with the garden, yardwork, home repairs and such were just the beginning of his kindness. I will miss him, our conversations over the fence and his snack mix at Christmas.
With Love,
