My thoughts are with all of Mark's family. Almost every time I saw Mark he was smiling, sometimes it was more of a grin. Those of us who knew Mark wished for his life, health and happiness and peace. I am sorry for your loss. Jamie and Rick- special thoughts from me are with you both.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Rick and All the Cottom Family.
I was glad I had the opportunity to meet Mark a few times over the last couple years and though I did not personally know him real well I did think he was just a Wonder Guy, Intelligent, Witty, and just a Nice Man. Life is sometimes so short for some of us as was the case with Mark but he surly left a nice impression of himself on me and so many others. He is truly missed by me and All the People here in...
