Today I've just learned the death of Mark and I was shocked. I know he would wished - qucikly and without suffering. He was a wonderful friend and he'll be missed by many.
I wish I know about this and would go to his funeral but no one informed me until now. I 'm disappointed to miss his funeral.
By th way, please accept my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I hope that time will soon heal your sorrow.
