Marcia & Marilyn - I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I had just heard about your parents yesterday, and was looking for their obituaries online and saw this sad news instead. I only met Mark once, but he seemed to be a very warm soul. My condolences to you and your families at this very difficult time.

Dear Marcia and Marilyn,
Vickie and I know this has been a particularly hard time for you both and we are immensely humbled by your grace under the terrible burden of having lost the Judge, your Mom and now Mark in such a short period of time.
