Not sure what to say?

I hadn't seen Mark in a long time, but I always thought he was a heck of a nice guy and I was very sorry to hear of his untimely passing. My sympathy to his family, may God be with you and comfort you during this difficult time.

I was deeply saddened to hear that my longtime friend Mark had passed away. I met Mark at Rice Univerity, and we shared many a good time together. Mark was an invaluable friend, in good times and bad, and I owed him a great debt for helping me out during our early days. I best remember the times we spent riding down the coast road in Galveston in his 68 Lincoln Continental. Like a big blue shadow we rolled through the late night, with headlights blazing ahead out into the dark, and the...

Diane, I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy. May God bless you and your family during this sad time.

Diane,
So sorry that your time with Mark has been cut short. He was truly the most colorful man I have ever met. Luckily our paths had crossed recently and Ken and I were able to visit with him.
He will be greatly missed.
Love,

Mark, you were a great friend, a fine father, a damn good boat captain and a hell of a cook! I will always feel your life was done too soon and I will miss your laughter and stories. You helped me out over the years when times were tough for me, but we also had a lot of good times together too.

Diane -- and the rest of Mark's family, I simply cannot imagine this world without the life force that was Mark. I knew him since we were freshman in high school and fell madly in love with him our senior year. As they say, you never forget your first love. Those were magical times, and I will always remember him with great fondness. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Diane,
Mark and I go back to High School where we sat together in the Sax section. I credit him with giving me the enthusiasm to continue to pursue music as well as other encouragements. Although we have lost contact through the years the memories are vivid. He will cetainly be greatly missed. My sympathy for your loss and prayers for you and your family. Mark Johnson

I am very sorry for your loss. I learned many valuable Insurance tools from Mark back in the 1990's that help me survive today. He was a great mentor and inspiration. I am glad our lives crosed one another even if it was too breif.

I am so sorry for your loss.
