Susan -
Please accept our deep condolences.
Our prayers are with you and your entire family at home, and within REA.
Mark will be sorely missed - he purposefully and positively touched so many people;
but he leaves us all with many good memories
along with an amazing legacy of caring, service, and professional excellence.
Engaged as our accounting firm/CPA since Bill Weber's retirement (yikes - that dates us!),
over the years Mark was a friend as well as a respected and trusted business advisor to us both -
as you know we consider you as well, Susan. .
Godspeed to Mark - and
God's peace be with you and your family, Susan.
