Dear Hoffman Family,

I am so sorry for your loss; Mark was always so very kind, such a special person. It has been many years since we spoke (Hoffman Brokerage days). I worked for Leslie Paper in Minneapolis, John your Uncle was actually my boss for many years, even after I transferred to Dallas, Texas.

My deepest condolences to your family,

The memory of that act of kindness will never leave me. Nor...

Mark was my friend. He may no longer be here, but I hold on to so many memories of Mark, that I should change the wording of that to, Mark is my friend.
