Our thoughts and prayers are with you Linda, Jill and Family. Oh Mark...how we will miss your smile and good humor. If we weren't smiling or laughing when we came into your shop, we always were when we left! THANK YOU for being such a good friend to us. You will be missed dearly! You won't be calling me "Mr." anymore, but every time I hear "Mr.", I'll be looking up to you.

So sorry to hear about your loss of Mark.
I have some great childhood memories back on 112th Avenue in Coon Rapids, especially sneaking into Mark's room and listening to his Neil Young albums!
May you all be comforted in Gods arms at this difficult time.

Linda, Jill and Family,
We will all miss Mark, but his laughter and love of life will always be with us. I loved to tease Mark and he gave it back to me as fast as I dished it out. I'm sure he is up in heaven right now enjoying the company of so many that have passed on.

Linda, Jill and Family,
We join a large circle of friends and family who find comfort in our fondest memories of Mark and our life and times together. Most of all we will remember him as a man of great talent, sincerity and humor. Mark can be proud of the wonderful legacy he left for his loved ones in his strength of character and courage when faced with life’s obstacles. Passing time will never fade all the special memories he made, loved ones never really part for they live inside our hearts. We are fortunate to have known Mark…
Love to you Linda, Jill and Family

Linda, Jill and to all of the Van Bergen family,
We are so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. May your love and memories ease your sorrow a little more each day.
Albert Einstein had a theory that when any LIVING thing passes away, the energy of that living thing is released and is all around us. May Mark's released energy hold you close and ease your sorrow until you meet again.
Blessings to all of you.
