I was surprised to see Mark's obituary in the newspaper this morning. It is very sad to learn of his passing at such a young age. I have known Mark since 1969 in 1st grade at St. Francis School. He was a funny guy and always made us laugh. My prayers are with the Hollibaugh family.

I went to grade school with Mark and always thought he was a super guy. He never failed to make me laugh or to brighten the room with his energy and sense of humor. He was a real character with a ton of compassion. I will miss him.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband and daddy! For our family it was 18 weeks. That was 12 years ago, we lost our mom. I pray for strength for you to continue on, look to GOD, he WILL get you through this. PEOPLE MUST get colonoscopys!, especially if Colon Cancer is in your family. I'm so sorry! My heart breaks for you, but don't forget Mark is OKAY now. God Bless You.

I would like to send our condolences to Mark's Family. I never got the honor of meeting him but through the facebook posts by Mary Ann and listening to her talk about him at a fund raiser he is one hell of a guy. We pray for your family and rejoice knowing there is a wonderful Angel now watching over all of you.
