I am sorry to hear this. Mark was my platoon leader at Marmion. I have nothing but great memories of our time together.

I am sorry for your loss. I have good memories of having Mark over for my birthday party when I was eight, and I also recall fondly his magic tricks he performed for us at St. Mary's (even taking off his glasses for the card tricks for extra difficulty). It makes me smile when I think of choir practice in those days, and the gusto with which Mark would belt out the hymns. He is already missed.

Dear Geisen Family,
I was so saddened to read of Mark's passing in today's paper.
When they were in high school, my son, Tony, would always come home from your place telling us of the fun times he had with Mark and his family. Those will be cherished memories now.
Your family will be in my prayers.
