Aunt Ev, Cousin Ron and Family,
Although I didn't know Mark, (only because of living here in California), after hearing from Gail about all the people who were in attendance at his viewing/service and reading the entries here and on the Caring Bridge it is so obvious what a wonderful, kind and helpful guy Mark was. Please know that I have you all in my prayers.
Love Suzanne Gail Kukel Godfrey

Dear Aunt Ev, Dean and Ron & Family,
Myself, plus all here in California, are very saddened to hear of cousin Marks' sudden passing - obviously very unexpectedly. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you all. I'm sure Mark is enjoying being reunited with his dad (Uncle Ollie) plus Uncle Buddy, Aunt Patsy, Grampa Erickson all who have preceded us on to the Final Victory and Ever-lasting Life. Love, Allen

To Mark's Family,
It has been a few years since I have seen Mark, but I will always remember my mom telling me "The nice mananger at Rainbow helped me out today". I would bet that Mark is still helping her out now. My prayers to your family.

To Mark's Family:
My heart goes out to you all in this time of sorrow. Mark was a Good friend to all he knew. It's sad when one is taken this early in life. I knew Mark from 3rd grade at Park Knoll and on thru High School to golfing in these past few years and I never saw him without a smile on his face in all those years. He will be greatly missed by me and all of our childhood friends.
