Mark was a great guy. As a former resident of Grand Rapids. I recall walking our community selecting paint colors. He was the kind of individual you were proud to have known. May the Hand of our Father in Heaven be with his family. Arlyn E Sievert Saint Augustine Florida

I do not know Mark, rather I am a member of Mayflower Congregational Church, where Kristen does such a wonderful job of managing all of our publications, bulletins, etc. She is well-liked and so valued by all. I and so many are devastated by the tragic loss of Mark and pray for his soul to rest and for the family and friends to hold the best memories of Mark. In sympathy, Greg Rhodes

Ruth and Duff, I watched the podcast of Mark's service. It was beautiful! I wish that I had known him. Please know that you all will be in my heart and prayers for a very long time. It was a joy to meet Kristen. Will also cover her and children with prayers. Blessings as you go through these difficult months.
