Not sure what to say?

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Morley,
I was so sorry to hear about Mark. Please accept my sincere condolences and prayers for you both and the members of your family. I still remember all of our wonderful times from the Village.

Sincerely,

Dear Morley Family and Sage:

I was so saddened by the loss of Mark, I watched Sage as a child in Saginaw. I graduated the same year as Mark and we had many of the same friends in the Saginaw network.

I commend Mark for his dedication to our city of Saginaw and making it a better place.

I will keep the Morley family in my prayers.

Mark was a wonderful man who was truly passionate about sailing and being a father to Sage. It was such a pleasure to serve on the Saginaw Club board with Mark with his many good ideas and commitment to the club's success. He will be missed and our heart goes out to his family.

Dear Morley Family
There are no words to heal the hurt in your hearts at this time, but please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
We just saw Mark just a few weeks ago at Bryan's memorial service where he gave a wonderful tribte to Bryan.
Mark was such a kind person with a wonderful sense of humor,a love for cars and especially for sailing.
He will be greatly missed by us all.

Mark was a great fan of the Mid-Michigan Children's Museum contributing to the gallery designs, element fabrication and complex installations. He was instrumental in allocating funds from the Morley Foundation to the MMCM as an investment for all the children living in the Great Lake Bay Region.

I knew the Morley family many years ago. Sage was a baby back then. The entire family was always so kind.

I sailed with Peter (and Stan, and Chris, and occasionally with Mark) and never knew a nicer bunch.

I am so sorry for your loss.

My father and brother also send their deepest sympathies.

Our deepest sympathies to the Morley families. We are sailors on Lake Michigan and understand the passion a person has for the Lake. May the deceased guide future sailors.

I had the opportunity to speak with Mark last Summer to thank him for a scholarship my son received through the Morley Foundation to attend Herter's Music Camp. I was immediately impressed at how friendly and willing he was to take time from his busy schedule to speak to a stranger when I called to thank him and get the address for a thank you note. In that short time he made such a big and positive impression. I send the family and the city of Saginaw my condolences. We all lost someone...
