As I try to prepare to go to a funeral for the man across the street from me, I thought if Mark and the family he left behind. Marks funeral was truly a celebration of his life yet knowing the times he missed with his children- with my children- still hurts. He would have loved Maggie's wedding and been a great resource for Walker during these past difficult years. (maybe even Gareth)
But I see how much of Mark there is that lives inside his children. I'm trying to find comfort here while knowing that Pedro's 2 young boys and his beautiful wife will be trying to carry on without him. Evil entered their lives but I have been able to see joy triumph tragedy here, so I have more hope that love and happiness will return to the family across the street. Thank you Mark and family for continuing to be an example after all these years.

I first met Mark, Olivia, Reid, and Ian in 1998, my senior year at Wesleyan when I began babysitting those extraordinary kids. Mark was one of those people you couldn't help but like. It was evident in everything he did how very important his children were to Mark. It saddens me now to learn of his passing and thinking of how much his children have lost. Kids, my thoughts are with you.
Love always!

Although it has been years since I have seen or spoken with Mark, I have very fond memories of him from the early years in Jr. High and High School. As I read through the thoughts of old friends and family, I vividly remember the days of Mark and Dave Slupe hanging out--and it makes my heart smile. My prayers are with you--family and friends. God Bless you Mark--thank you for being you.

Mark Williams was an exceptional person. I was blessed to know him & call him friend at LB. His astounding wit was greatly appreciated.No one could forget his speech at our graduation. Especially his brother. My prayers are with his family at this difficult time.
God had a higher calling for this exceptional person. God Bless Mark, Rest in Peace.

I also grew up in Kings Park and was a '79 classmate of Mark at Lake Braddock. The last time I saw Mark was when I was visiting the Wm & Mary campus for a soccer game my sophomore year at Va. Tech. I ran into Mark in their dining hall and he immediately told me what to eat and what not to eat there! Mark was always so funny, smart, and friendly to everyone. I have enjoyed catching up with his life by reading all the amazing testimonials by friends, family, colleagues, and patients. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are extended to his family for their great loss.

It so saddened me to hear about Mark's death. I have such wonderful memories of the laughing, joking, intelligent young man that I went to junior high and high school with at Lake Braddock and the wonderful man he became during our years at William and Mary. My heartfelt sympathies and condolences are sent to his family. May his loving and laughing ways warm your memories forever.

We never met Mark, but we know Kim well and love her and her family. Words do not exist that express how sorry we all are for the loss of Mark, however, we know he is in a better place because he lived as we all should live-loving our neighbor as ourselves. From what we have heard about him from Kim, he truely had compassion for his fellow man and he lived by treating others with repect and dignity. God Bless his family and may his soul rest in peace.

It is with great hope and a promising spirit that we write to you, the Williams and Jones family. Mari, Mauri and I have been friends with Kim for many years and have greatly appreciated her enthusiasm and zest for life!We are blessed to have she and her boys in our lives and are certain that love, honor and strength will prevail in this world because of Mark's, her brother's, legacy. We send our sympathies, but also, will find a "Rose Hill" park in NY and go revel in the spirit with family to honor Mark! God Bless!

I knew Mark because his sister, Kim and I were friends in High School (Lake Braddock).Although he was 2 years younger than me, he offered to take me to the prom if I didn't have a date. Wish I would have gone with him! My greatest sympathy to the Williams family.

Words cannot express the sense of loss that I feel for Dr. Williams. During the time that I had breast cancer and treatments he was there for me and so was his staff. His death is a great loss for his family as well as the medical community. He will be missed by many.

I met Dr. Williams over 4 years ago when I was a rising sophomore at the University of Georgia. He regularly frequented my parents' restaurant and he quickly became friends with my mom due to their similarly lively personalities. At the time I was a lost pre-med student trying to make it through college and into medical school, so he offered to let me come in and shadow him for a couple of days. He took me out to lunch and gave me a ton of advice and we talked about random interests like cars. I got observe him perform some procedures and he even let me keep a pair of his oversized (on me) scrubs and a giant textbook on oncology that I couldn't understand every 3 words of. These little things, on top of his words of encouragement, really pushed me in achieving my dreams. Before I even knew how challenging it was to become a radiology oncologist, I could already tell that he was a brilliant physician. He also expressed to me how emtional of a job it was and right then I knew that he truly cared for for his patients. One thing that I really admired about him was his enthusiasm and high level of energy that he exuded. You could definitely feel a shift in the mood and aura of a room whenever he was present. He eventually wrote me a personal letter of recommendation for medical school and we kept up with each other through my mom. I never thought that I would be finding out such tragic news from my mom. I wish that I could be able to tell him about my medical school graduation and where I will be going for residency, but I feel lucky enough just to have met him and that I'll be able to take what I've learned from him and use it in my career as a physician. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Goodbye Dr. Williams.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the family of Dr.Williams. Our family was introduced to Dr.Williams in 2003,when he treated my Daddy. Dr Williams was always so kind to my daddy and made daddy feel good even on the days that daddy didn't feel good.Dr.Williams had a great sense of humor. Then two years later we had to return to his office again with my sister with breast cancer. My sister was scared to have to take the treatments, but again Dr.Williams was there again for our family. Dr.Williams will be missed by so many people and can't be replaced.I will continue to keep the family in my thoughts and prayers.

To the family and friends of Dr.Mark Williams I want to express my deepest sympathy to all. Dr.Williams was a great Dr. Our family meet him at a sad time in our life when he treated my daddy.Dr Williams always told us the truth about things even though the truth is not what we wanted to hear sometimes. He was so good to my daddy and always made daddy feel good , even when daddy didn't feel good.Then after two years we were back in his office again,with my sister having breast cancer.He always made her feel comfortable, even when she was scared during the time she was having to take her treatments.She liked Dr.Williams so much and he treated her so good.Only a few days after his death my sister had to go to the office for a visit.She said it was so sad to be there without Dr. Williams smiling face and cheerful ways. Dr Williams will be missed by so many people. The family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

I still can't believe that Mark is gone. The last time I saw Mark was at the funeral service for his father in Virginia. He spoke the most touching words. As we all know, Mark had such a way with words. I, too, like my brothers feel that Mark was another brother in our home. He was such a fun loving, positive guy to have around. I especially remember the boggle games we played around the dining room table. David, my oldest brother, attended the funeral and went to see where Mark lived. He needed to soak Mark in. He told me that Mark had a boggle game on his table! After reading some of the earlier guest entries, it appears Mark never changed. He was, years later, still the intelligent, kind, fun-loving, adventurous fellow that we all grew up with in Kings Park. I am so proud to have known a man that was able to help and inspire so many people.
My deepest sympathy to the family.
May our memories of Mark inspire us all to live life to the fullest.

I too, like my brother Steve spent countless hours with Mark and his brother Doug playing stickball, basketball, football, etc during my youth. Mark and my older brother Dave were the best of friends and being a few years younger, I always have and still do look up to both of them. One of my fondest memories is of a poker game in which my Dad was playing and Mark would always stay in a hand to call my Dads bluff no matter what the cost. It made for some great laughs.
I haven't seen Mark since my sister Lori's wedding almost 16 years ago. It's amazing how much I miss him now as he has been on my mind all week. I receive comfort in knowing that he is in a better place now and that he will always be watching over his 3 children. I will certainly miss you Mark but will never forget you.
My deepest sympathy to the Williams' family.

It was a pleasure working with as a young doctor with Dr. Williams in 1997. A fitting obituary for a very unique,funloving talented person and doctor.

As extraordinary as Mark was, he had a remarkable ability to make ordinary people feel extraordinary too. He had a gift of enthusiasm and wonder that he was able to extend into his relationships. No matter how bad I might be feeling, every time he saw me he made me feel special, loved and worthwhile. I am sad for all of us, but I am also grateful that I knew him and will never forget him.
My deepest sympathy for Olivia, Reid and Ian. What an amazing father!

My deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of Mark. Mark was a gifted physician, who touched the lives of many. I met Mark in 2003 when my Father was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and I knew then that I had just met someone who loved his job. Mark expressed empathy, and had a way of normalizing the situation. My Father would often comment on what a "great guy" he was, and appreciated the time Mark would take in helping him to understand his illness. Mark's death is a tremendous loss to his family, friends, colleagues, and the greater community as well.

Dr. Williams,
The day I walked into your office following breast cancer surgery, I was terrified. I'd just been through the first medical problem of my life. Facing radiation treatments? I knew nothing about it. The time with you at that initial visit calmed my fears; and your wonderful staff was an extension of you. I actually enjoyed my treatments, looked forward to them, and left in high spirits.
And then there was the book. I took it to your office as a gift - and you took it away from the staff to read before giving it back to them. That's the you I will always remember - fun, laughter, enjoying everything.
I have a lifetime of wonderful memories to keep in a treasure box inside me, and you are one of them.

My thoughts, heart and prayers are with the family of Dr. Williams. He treated me in 2000 and 2001 for a rare cancer. His expertise allowed me to receive treatment near home, having two young children at the time. My doctor's at MD Anderson Cancer Center In Houston, Texas were impressed with his knowledge and treatment.
My husband and I so welcomed, his concern, knowledge, and the time he took with us to prepare us for the journey ahead. I have always had fond thoughts and memories of he and his staff and their individual concern for EACH patient.
It touched us not long after my 1st surgery at MD Anderson in Texas when he stopped my husband and children at the Georgia National Fair to ask about me. He went so beyond being a doctor for he truly cared about his patients.
I loved the stories he shared of playing at night with his kids using flashlights. It was so obvious his love for his children and his desire to show them life and love. May those memories help through the many hard days ahead.
Thank you for sharing your dad with many who he helped to heal. I am blessed for having know him and been under his care.

I want to express my deepest sympathy to the family of Dr.Mark Williams. I met Dr.Williams at a very disheartening time of my life when he treated my dad, Robert Tucker, who had been diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus. Dad didnt have much to smile at those days but when Dr.Williams would come in and say "How are you today " Mr.T "? that would always make my dad smile. He was so caring to my Dad as I know he had to have been with all his patients. Dr. Williams was at the present treating my sister, Bonnie Smith, who had gone through breast cancer and he was so caring and easy for her to talk to. She said visits from now on will never be the same without Dr. Williams. When we heard of his accident we just couldnt comprehend anything happening to Dr. Williams. My husband and I had recently seen Dr. Williams with the children at Jim Shaws Restaurant and they were having such a good time together. You could tell he was a great dad!I know the kids were blessed to have had him! He also had to have had great parents to have turned out to be the person he was. I want to thank you all for sharing a small piece of his life with us because we are all blessed just to have known him. God be with you all during this difficult time.

What a privilege it has been these past 11 years to know an individual as unique and talented as Mark Williams! He would burst into our office and delight us with his wit and intellect while also expressing such gratitude for the smallest service. All work would happily stop while we caught up on his travel, views of the world and stories of his three children-Olivia, Reid and Ian- whom he obviously adored. He will be missed by so many.

Although Mark and my brother Dave were very close friends, Mark was also very close to the whole Slupe family. We spent countless hours through our childhood and young adult years playing stickball, basketball, football, charades, boggle, poker….and I could go on. He was always very positive and quick to make you laugh. He was attending the Medical College of Virginia when I started my freshman year at Virginia Commonwealth. During his busy schedule, he took me out to see how things were going. He then got me involved in some of the patient drug studies to make extra money. He was always looking out for his friends no matter how busy he was. Mark always was a positive influence in my life and as I read the stories about how he was with his children, patients, and friends, he always will be.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family.

My mother, Mildred Hejl, was a patient of Dr. Williams when she was being treated for a rare cancer, histiocytoma. I recall observing the gentleness with which he held her arm to examine it-like a little bird. He was impressively thorough in his examination and, of course, his explanation. There was no one more important than she was at that moment.
I believe most of all, my parents enjoyed having lunch with Dr. Williams at the hospital. Often, if he walked in and saw them, he would ask to join them. Though both in their early eighties at the time, they had much to share. He was always such a breath of fresh air-so kind, friendly and down-to-earth.

I would like to express my sincere sympathy to Ramona, Olivia, Reid and Ian. Mark was such a special person and physician. He had such a gift for caring deeply about his patients. I, as an OB/Gyn always looked forward to receiving consult letters from him, which read like fine literary novels. Mark will be missed by everyone who had the good fortune of knowing him.

We are heartsick at learning of Dr. Williams' death. He treated my mother with radiation after her cancer diagnosis and surgery in 92. After such a scary experience with doctors and hospitals, he was such a breath of fresh air. He was always compassionate and caring and upbeat, with that wonderful sense of humor that brightened a person's day and set his patients at ease. He was so proud of his baby daughter that he brought her to his office to meet his patients! One can only wish that all doctors had at least half the gift of love and healing that Dr. Williams had. Although it has been about fifteen years since that experience, neither I nor my mother have ever forgotten what a lifeline he was for her. He will be sadly missed, but will live forever through the many lives he touched. Our deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers are with his family.

I got to know Mark from his many visits to Publix. He always had a smile and a good conversation. I moved to Nashville TN 4 1/2 years ago. He came in the store on my last day just to wish us luck and to say how nice it was getting to know him over the years. He will be missed greatly.

Mark,
I knew you but a short time as your patient and consider you a friend.
Your unique ability to think and treat me outside the box helped me through tough times and so did all our conversations.
Hopefully, things will be okay for your family and friends in time.
You have left an impression on many.
I, my daughter, Christie; my son, Carling, and all my family will never forget you and your great staff.

Mark was a student in my s biology class at Lake Braddock High School. He was also my son's Best Man and closest friend. From boyhood Mark exhibited all the qualities which made him an excellent doctor and a truly wonderful man. He was intellectually gifted and was also gifted with a kind heart and wild sense of humor. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

To the family of Dr. Williams, my deepest sympathy is extended to all of you. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in October, 2006. I received 33 treatments of radiation in January, 2007 from his Macon Office. He truly blessed me in many ways during my office visits. I drove 42 miles each day to receive my treatment, we always discussed what XM Radio Channel I listened to on my drives to and from Macon. To his family, friends and staff I will keep you all in my prayers. I am so thankful to have had Dr. Williams in my life as my Doctor and more important than that he was my friend. I will miss him.

To the family and office staff of Dr. Mark Williams,
I just heard today the sad news of Mark's accident and death. I could only cry and immediately called the office to talk with someone. I have been a patient since 2007, having defeated a type of breast cancer that luckily was at stage 0 at the time of occurence. I was to have radiation for 6-8 weeks everyday in 2000. I lived 1 1/2 hours away from Macon and had the choice to have radiation nearer to my home or here. I was so impressed with Dr. Williams and confident that he would take care of me, that I chose to drive the distance round trip everyday to recieve his care. Three years ago I moved into this area and always looked forward to my visits with him yearly. I accidently missed the one in March this year and called the office, where he answered the phone himself to reschedule. I was glad to get to talk with him and catch up on his travels. He was more than a scholarly physician, he was a counselor and a friend. He had a gift with people like no other physician I have ever known. I, as so many others, will miss him, his advice, his knowedge, his compassion and his zest for life. May his children inherit some of his passions and know that he was a very loved man and respected by those who had the pleasure of crossing his path.
May God bless you at this time and comfort you as you reflect on the life of your father, family member and friend.

When I was a small boy (about 1st grade) in Springfield VA, we lived across the street from Mark, and we were friends and playmates. One time I remember there was snow on the ground, and Mark and I decided to take this ceramic frog that was in the next-door neighbor’s garden and roll it up inside a big snowball; an act of “naughty mischief”. I recall we were both laughing hysterically thinking about how it would not be until spring after all the snow melted that Mr. Rivers would discover where his frog had disappeared. The two of us working together managed to push that snowball over and over until the height exceeded our own.
Our family moved away and I had not seen Mark since then. Over the years my mother has kept in touch with his, and it is with great sadness that I learned about the passing of such a dear childhood friend.
May God bring peace to all of Mark’s family.

Mark always made me feel what I though and felt was important. There were no little people in his eyes. Every opinion mattered, every smile was returned,every problem had a solution. There was never a challenge too big to take on. Children,the people you are and will become is due in great part to your father. His curiosity,intellect, kindness and appreciation of family shows in you. The three of you are among the most amazing children I've ever met and I couldn't love you more if you were my own. My door, as well as my heart, is always open to you. Ramona, I love you, sweetie. I also respect and admire you and the way you and Mark kept the family in tact although you were divorced. The two of you have done an outstanding job at setting an example of love,compassion, honesty and forgiveness.
Thank you for allowing me to spend time with you all during the last week.
Peace be with you all.
Much love,

I wish to extended my deepest sympathies for your loss. I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Mark's untimely death.
I will always remember my time working with Mark at CRO and how humorous he could be; including his crazy idea of hand-made Christmas gifts (you made me the neatest birdhouse).
Please know you all are in my heart and prayers. May the love of family and friends give you comfort during this difficult time.

To Alice, Kim, Olivia, Reid, Ian and Ramona,
I first met Mark when we moved to the Community of Kings Park in Springfield, Va in 1969. My oldest son, David, was entering Cub Scouts and I became a Den Mother. Mark was one of the wonderful little neighborhood boys who was in my Den. Immediately, Mark became a close friend of our son and before long the rest of the Slupe family. Mark became a very frequent visitor to our home and we all enjoyed his wit, humor and charm -- even in those younger days, Mark had lots of charm. Over the years, Mark became so much like one of my own children. He loved my iced tea. I am the proud mother of five wonderful children and have always been proud of Mark, too. I will never, ever forget the night he gave his Valedictorian speech at his high school graduation. It made one laugh and cry and was so typical of the words one would expect that would come from Mark's fantastic mind. It is still so difficult to realize that Mark is no longer with us but the powerful memories we all have of him will be a reminder of the gentle way in which he left his great footprint on this Earth. Mark, my family and I will all miss you very much.

Mark radiated the miracles of life. He doubtless was a small piece of God here to visit. Marks' very presence obliterated the mundane; as he raised the energy of anyone he came into contact with. I have no doubt his energy continues as he entertains The Divine Himself with his joyous wit and intellect.
Mark, you will be sorely missed.

To the family of Dr. Williams and also the office staff, his work family, my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you. He was one of a kind and now God has another plan for him in Heaven. I pray that God will give you the peace and comfort to help get you through these difficult times. Children as you grow up, remember how much your Father loves you, he often spoke highly about you to his patients. When we discussed that my brain tumor and cancer had been healed, he threw up his hands and talked about the Miracle, he said the only was to explain it was that it was a miracle, so I know he is in Heaven with Jesus. God used Dr. Williams to help heal me and I will be forever grateful. Love in Christ, Donna Bailey

Mark and i were friends through the clinic....ina a world where medicine is ever chganging and physicians barely have enough moments to care for patients, Mark always found a moment to speak with me about soccer, surfing, cars and life in general. He was a great man in every sense of the word.

I barely got to know Mark but can easily echo the many sentiments already conveyed in this guest book. It was glaringly obvious that Mark lived life to it's fullest, and I bet there was nothing he would rather be doing at that exact moment than feeling the wind blowing his face as he pushed the bike and his body to the limit. He did indeed have a remarkable ability to engage people in any conversation and make them feel important. My special condolences to Olivia, Ian, and Reid who can no longer physically be with their father but may rest assured that he is looking down encouraging them to have the strength and confidence to achieve anything they want in life...

Dear Ramona and Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear of Mark's passing. We met nearly 10 years ago and immediately my life was enriched by his presence. Mark's gifts to this world and those blessed to have contact with him have been immeasurable. I never left an interaction with Mark without a smile and a peace from within. Mark had a wonderful ability to speak of great intellectual principal and yet never forget the small things in life, like the occasional special melon he would leave unannounced at my office door.
I will pray for you and your children for divine presence during this time and for the years to come without the presence of Mark. He has forever touched me and I am truly grateful for all that he has given to me. Blessings and Prayers to your family.

My deepest sympathy to the children, family, staff and friends of Mark. I lost my husband in 1996, however, I feel that his 3 month "death sentence" was extended to 18 months due to our friendship developed with Mark and his staff. Durning that 18 months, long after treatment ended, we stopped by for coffee and visits. Mark always remembered us, the names of our children, grandchildren and best friends. After 13 yeaars, he never forgot. Mark and Bill shared the same love of life. I am sure they are celebrating and for eternity enjoy that love of life. Kathleen, I'll stop by for coffee soon.
Love and many prayers,

Ramona,
My heart is broken after learning about Mark's accident.I have been thinking about the year and a half that I spent working at Coliseum Radiation Oncology with Mark and Kathleen. We had so much fun as we were getting the new clinic off the ground. I so enjoyed spending time with you as well. You and Mark have always held a special place in my heart. I felt so honored to be with you the night that Olivia was born. I can't believe she is 15 years old! I have so many wonderful memories of my time in Macon. I think of Mark every time I look at my framed wedding invitation that he wrote. Mark had a personality that was bigger than life! I will love and remember him always. Now my thoughts and prayers are for you, Olivia, Reid, and Ian. Mark was such a great father. I wish they could have had him for many more years, but at least he made the very most of the time he did have with them. My love and prayers are with you always.
Love, Beverly

I was glad I got a chance to know Mark. He was a great Radiation Oncologist and his patients loved him. He lived life to its fullest and he will be greatly missed by me and his fellow partners.

To The Williams Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I first met Mark after my sister Lisa was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2001. Through the course of her 3 year illness, he was a stable force on her medical team. He was always extremely honest with her about her diagnosis and prognosis. Being someone that could put it into perspective for her and deliver the message in a way in which she could find hope, feel the support and caring, and find a sense of humor in the sadness of it all.
He would give her all the time that she needed during her appointments to ask questions and break things down for her in lay terms. He gave her many gifts of his time, wit, intellect, encouragement and honesty. She would refer to him as her "pretend boyfriend" even though she was married with 2 kids.
In June 2004, Lisa's fight with cancer was near its end and her body started to fail rapidly. I put a call into his office to let him know that things were changing fast. That afternoon he unexpectedly paid her a visit at her home. This is the gift that he gave me... she was on cloud nine that Dr. Mark Williams came to see her. After he left, she made me call (she could no longer dial the phone numbers) of all of her girlfriends so she could say "guess who came to see me?"
My sister died several days later (June 26, 2004) and it has been that visit and her reaction that I have kept logged in my memory. Mark gave me that gift!
He will be greatly missed. I am all the better person to have known him even if it was just for a little bit and through my sister's experiences.

Mark will be greatly missed by those of us at Publix who knew him.
May his wonderful outlook on life and happiness live on through his children. Deepest sympathies to his family and children.

To Mark's family -- I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure it's not much of a consolation, but Mark was truly a unique and wonderful friend/father/son. I considered him my best friend and saw him about 2-3 times a month for the last 10 years. We often had dinner together where I got to know how much he loved you all and especially how important his children were to him. I am heartbroken and saddened by this untimely death and will never forget him as long as I am alive.

Mark was a wonderful boss and even greater friend. His quick wit, vast wisdom, and compassionate nature made me and everyone that worked for him proud to be associated with his pratice. He always kept his staff interested in learning with his quick and humorous "quiz" questions. His sharp mind was like no other...he had a way of remembering everyones likes and interest, patients and friends alike. He could bring up something in a conversation years later that would make you stop and think "wow, I can't believe he remembers me telling him that"...like the name of a favorite song, childhood pet, or a patient's favorite lotion! You just knew that when he sat down to listen to you that he was truly, sincerely, listening. His death is an absolute shock to me and I will miss him dearly. I could'nt ever imagine being lucky enough to work for another doctor like him! I pray now that his children will have someone there for them, to help them deal with losing a parent at such a young age, the way Mark was there for me.

I was so sorry to hear about Dr Williams. Dr Williams was a brilliant and exceptional doctor and will be greatly missed. I do not think I will never know of another doctor who can write upside down writing right to left facing you so that you can read and follow along with him while he is talking and explaining things to you so well. Dr Williams you were the Best! My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

I had the great fortune of growing up across the street from Mark. He was my best friend from age 3 to our college years, and we stayed in touch whenever we could after that. As kids, we dreamed and schemed together, and discovered life's offerings on our own terms. His grace, warmth, compassion, insight, humanity, and charisma were all most wonderful gifts. Even when we were quite young, he told me that when people pass on, we should take time to celebrate their lives. Saddened as I am at this tragic loss of one so dear, if ever a life cried out for celebration, it was his. Mark, we all miss you and thank you for the great gift of your friendship that you shared so freely with all who crossed your path. With great love, affection, admiration, and respect, I will carry you in my heart forever.

To Mark's children, family members, and friends,
We met Mark when he visited our home several years ago. He was kind, funny, and charming. After learning about our children's musical tastes, he sent them special CDs with their favorite songs.
The Miller family sends our love and condolences during this sad time for everyone.

To Mark's family,
We are your grandmother's neighbors on London Ct. in Springfield, VA. We only met Mark once, on the occasion of Ken's memorial service. We were having a block party, and Mark and his children joined us. It was a great time, and he obviously loved seeing old friends and neighbors. The thing I remember most is how he welcomed our son, Will, into the crowd of kids. Before we knew it, he was playing the Pied Piper, leading all the kids off on an adventure to the "secret" passage to the old park where he and his buddies used to go when they were kids. In one afternoon, he completely captivated Will and made a new admirer for life.
We love your grandma so much, and we are so sorry for the loss of your dad, son, uncle, and brother. We hope you will find comfort in discovering all the ways Mark touched peoples' lives for the better.
Hoping for grace and peace for you all, The Baskin Family

I was shocked and saddened when I came across Dr. Williams' obituary. My mother was a patient of Dr. Williams for a short time at the end of last year. In that short time, Dr Williams left a lasting impression on all of us. He was a unique and gifted person and this is such a loss to the medical community but mostly to his family. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Williams family during this difficult time. May God be with you.

I met Mark a few years ago when I was having a difficult time. He was one of the most genuine and warm individuals I have ever known. He wore his heart on his sleeve. I am not sure that he realized the powerful effect he had on people, that he had on me. A few encouraging words from him could soothe the most desperate soul. He offered experience, strength, and hope, to so many. His wisdom and love of life will stay with me....my heartfelt sympathies to his children and family.

In losing Mark we've lost a great friend and a great example of how to live one's life to the fullest. I'll always admire Mark, partly because he was such a brilliant person and a free spirit, but also because there was nothing pretentious about him. Mark will always be an inspiration for this and for his geniune care and interest in the people around him. We will miss him greatly!
June 4, 2007
We didn't know Mr. Williams personally but what a wonderful mark this man has left on earth. His children will be proud to know what how great their father was and hopefully follow in his footsteps. May God give your family the peace and love in the days ahead to overcome this lost.
