Dear Mark's family,
Our family offers you our most sincere condolences. We loved Mark very much; he was the best man at our wedding 17 years ago. Mark and Dennis (my husband) worked together and they were close friends. Mark was a wonderful friend and he was always generous and courageous. We are very saddened for his parting. We know that he is a kind soul and that God has him with HIM.
Sincerely,
Dennis, Ana, and Marina Scholl
