Not sure what to say?

Dear Tracy,

My heart goes out to you. I heard about this from my mom a while ago, and I have been thinking of you from time to time. I just remember Mark from your wedding day. He actually took an interest in talking to me. I think he showed his character and his compassion in that moment. You should know that I consider you the brightest light in your family. I know that you and Mark must have raised amazing children who have become amazing adults.

My thoughts and prayers...

Tracy, Mathew, Brian and Marie

I am shocked and terribly saddened by the news of Mark's passing, I am still having a hard time believing it is true. I am so sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences to you all.

I was fortunate to know Mark for the last few years, as we both worked out together often at the Boston Harbor hotel. We got to be good friends over the years and shared many great moments of laughter, conversation, memorable dinners and a few beers.

We will always remember your warm smile and the times our families shared as our children grew in Needham and Chatham. Sending love and prayers to your beautiful family, Sally Kane

Dear Tracy, Brian, Matthew, Daniel & Marie-

I'm stunned to hear about Mark's ("Murph's") death. Although you don't know me, I'm sending you sincere love and hope that you can find peace someday with his tragic loss.

I went to college with your husband/dad and took classes with him, as well as worked with him at SAGA (the cafeteria) along with some of his friends (Tom, Ralph, and Paul). I will always remember his great (biting) sense of humor, his social nature, strong intellect...

So very sorry for your loss

Dear Tracy: We were heartbroken to hear about the loss of your husband. Please know that there are so many people, from every corner of your life, who are praying for your comfort and holding you and your children close in our hearts. Sending much love and deep sympathy.

Dear Tracy, Brian, Matthew, Daniel and Marie. I'm sure there are many people that want to leave a condolence but don't because there aren't adequate words to express ones feelings at a time like this. I do feel that way too but Mark's laughter and voice at the ball games I either coached Brian in or attended as a fan while watching our children keeps loudly resonating in my ears and I just have to share memory with you. His strong laughter won't leave my conscience. May God keep all of you...

I worked closely with Mark these past 4 years in equities in Boston. I knew him to be a highly intelligent and passionate investor, who loved and was incredibly (and rightfully) proud of his family. The happiness and joy in his face talking about his kids was quite real.

My sincere condolences to your family and let me know if I can do anything.

Sincerely,

Rob McCarthy

Although I never met Mark, I was told about him by a mutual friend. Please know that I have been praying for your family. A loss like this makes no sense. I pray that Mark is in the embrace of God and that you all receive the comfort and strength you need. - Sister Brittany, NJ
