Not sure what to say?

Mark was my Chair of the Board while I served at the African Palliative Care Association. He taught me how to lead with my lungs and serve with my heart! A great leader, teacher and mentor! I miss him greatly! May his soul Rest In Peace

Dear Linda and Family, My sincere sympathy for the loss of your dear Mark, husband and father. He was a smart, dedicated, and faithful servant. I will fondly remember working with him and his service to the Foundation for Cancer Care in Tanzania. I´m so sorry I was not able to attend his memorial service.

So sorry for your tremendous loss Class of 70 SHS
