Mark G. Waldow

Trip home to Grand Island recently brought back memories of Mark. I was driving by the home where is family once lived. I did not hear about his passing until a few years afterwards. His death brought a profound sadness even though I hadn´t seen him in 30 + years. He was my first serious boyfriend and my boss at McDonald´s. A lot of great memories. He was such a great guy. Cancer sucks. Takes all the good ones. Apologies this is a little late but condolences to his wife and daughters. Hope...

We are approaching our 40th high school reunion (Class of 1979 Grand Island). I never saw this obituary, I didn't know Mark passed until it was all over. I didn't know he was sick. I learned after. I did run into Mark at a mall and I later learned he knew he was sick when I saw him but he didn't say so. When we were young we were close. He was best man at my first wedding and I at his.

Mark holds a special place in my heart. In those crazy high school days, what I remember most about Mark is his kindness and the fact he loved to laugh. The picture of Mark I have in my head is one where he has a big smile on his face.

Dear Jeannine, I know we have only recently found each other again, but I hope you know that I am here for you if you need me. It will always be a deep regret that I never got to meet Mark. He sounded like such an exceptional husband and father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. Love, Jeannette

Jeanine,

I heard the news about Mark earlier this week from Paul Stoddard. The past two years must have been so difficult. I have fond memories of Mark from our high school years. He always made life fun. You and the girls are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jeannine:

I am so very sorry to hear about Mark. I know your faith is strong. May you find peace in your heart with God's help. I will keep you and the girls in my prayers! Please take care.

Love, Eileen

I am a cousin and havent seen him in more than 20-30 years. So sorry to hear about this. Thoughts for everyone.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the girls during this difficult time. When I heard about Mark's passing (at school today), I was deeply saddened. We pray that God can help you find peace.

I'm certain Mark touched many people as he was such a terrific person and created such easy friendships. He wisdom and welcoming personality will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you Jeannine, Nicole, Melanie and Jennifer. May the fond memories give you the same comfort they will give me.
