We shall miss Mark greatly at the Palette Cafe. He was a great joker and made all of our guests feel very welcome. They always asked about him. Our synpathies go to his family
and friends. May he rest in peace forever.

I met Mark at 1st Church of the Nazarene. Mark was a great friend and helped me tremendously as I healed and cleaned up. I lost touch with him many years ago. Lindsey and all of you, my prayers are with you.
