I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Mark was a wonderful person. It was an honor to know him.

Sorry for your loss. May you find peace and hope in the days ahead by trusting in God. Romans 15:13.

Gretchen and Anna,
I am so shocked and saddened by the news of Mark's death. I worked with Mark at the Free Clinic as a volunteer physician. He represented all the best qualities of one involved in health care of the marginalized of society. His respect and care for all people was always evident, whether they were kind and appreciative or not. His medical knowledge was vast but understated. He knew how to make a way where there was no way--get a referral, get a CT- he made it happen...

For a great soul, I knew. God speed.

When Great Trees Fall, (Maya Angelou)

When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.

When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.

When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see...

Gretchen and Anna,
My deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. Mark was an exceptional person, always giving, always caring and very compassionate. May God wrap his arms around you to help you find comfort and peace. May Mark's everlasting love for you help your days to find a ray of sunshine. Grief is a difficult journey, but with God beside you, and Mark forever in your heart, one day at a time. Mark's spirit will always live with you because that's...
