Mark D. Cook

Mary and Peter, our deep sympathies and love are extended to you both and Ellen. Mark was a remarkable soul. I will always remember his empathetic, joyful nature as I was about to have another thoracentesis at Borgess in a state of chemo-brain fog. Rich wheeled me to where a visiting Radiology specialist from Chicago was meeting me and Mark was in the hallway. He was so very kind and supportive for both of us in simple conversation. Despite my pain and miserable appearance, he took my...

The first time Mark and Mary Therese visited us here in Norway in 1979, we borrowed a Ford Transit van with no windows.

Sending healing prayers and comforting words to the family.

I´m so sorry to hear of Mark´s passing. My condolences to his entire family!

With sincere sympathy, I am sad to learn Mark has passed. We worked together for years in Borgess operating rooms. Mark was a good nurse and kind man who dearly loved his family. RIP DEAR coworker.

Mary T, Margaret, Mary Rose and all, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of Mark. He was such a good man and I know he will be greatly missed. I know he had a crowd waiting to greet him. Peace to you. Lovingly, Mary Jo

So sorry for your loss.

Mary, I am so sorry for your loss of Mark and your son Jonathon. Mark was a kind friend and coworker for many years. He loved his family and was very proud of his boys. He lived his life well. I have many fond memories of him. It looks like I will be the last of our generation at Borgess. We have made a good legacy and our younger folks are doing a good job following in our footsteps! God bless you and Peter at this difficult time.

In memory of my dear brother, Mark Cook.
