Dear Peg and Family: Larry and I are shocked and extremely saddened to hear of Mark's sudden passing. I have known Mark for over 30 years and was honored to work with him at Michelle's. I don't know how to express the respect I had for him as a business person, talented grooming artist and all around "one of the good guys" you get to know in your life if you are lucky! If there is any way I can help you please let me know. Our prayers are with you and our love goes out to you. Barb and Larry...
