Not sure what to say?

Teri and family, We just heard about your loss. We are very sorry and our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Uncle Gordon and Aunt Flo.

Durkee Family,
We were so saddened to hear of your loss. We fondly remember all the basketball tournaments that our families went to. Please know our thoughts and prayers are will you.

We just got back from being out of the country and heard the sad news. Immediately, we remembered Mark as the proud basketball dad, friendly "cross-town rival", and all-around sweet, caring and kind guy. He made a difference in our lives and we will, in his honor, try to do the same.

God be with you always,
Karen, Dave, Victoria and Matthew Brubaker

Teri and Family;

We were so saddened to hear of Mark's passing. I remember what wonderful conversations we had when we would wait for our children to get out of school. He would talk of basketball tourney's, family vacatons and just spending time with his family. Know he loved you all very dearly.
May God give you strength and joy for each day. God bless you Teri and your family.

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Mark. I knew the Durkee family when Cody was attending B.F.C. Preschool. He and my daughter took swimming lessons together at V.C.
Teri, I will be praying for you and your family. I know we haven't seen each other in years, but I do remember all of your family. (I still work at BFC Preschool). May God give you strength during this difficult time.
Your friend (from long ago).
Teri Rogers

I always thought of Mark as the perfect dad, as was said today at his memorial. What a beautiful service you had for him.
