Lisa,
My sincere condolences and heart go out to you in this sad time. Mark was one of my favorite people when we worked together at the Gator Bowl. We made a great team in running the Fanfest. It was never quite as good as when Mark was in charge. I really enjoyed seeing all the neat things you two did in his last years on facebook! He lived life to the end! He will always be remembered by many! Peace and love!
