Mark, I remember meeting you when I worked with Chris at Nordstrom. I also remember her buying trip back east when she met you. She was a wonderful, intelligent, fun person to work for. You have been an inspiration to all of us in your devotion and the strength you gave to Chris as she battled this horrible disease. We send our deepest sympathy to you and your family in the loss of this courageous woman.

Mark - For the past few years I've read about your journey with Chris. I knew "Chris" in college as she dated a friend and teammate. As my mother progressed through Alzheimer's the past 10 years, Don McGraw, told me about you and Chris. I found inspiration in the strength and support that you provided for Chris. I just wanted you to know that my thoughts are with you.
