Mark was one of my best friends and I miss him. He cherished his friends. I introdused mark to wolfgang grotge and Don Richman, He told me how lucky he was to have known them. I miss his calling me everyday and comming over for coffee. We had wonderful times together. His laugh and good spirit will be remembered. Mark loved his toys. his new lazer light that he would shine threw my window late at night..I did not think I would miss that. but I do. The world for me is missing a great guy.We were good friends..He will always remain in my heart.

Dear Myrtle and family,
I was very shocked and deeply sad to hear about Marks passing.
I know how very painful it is to say good by to some one, you love and care for so much.
May you find peace and comfort in your wonderful memories of Mark, and
May the love and support of family and friends carry you through this difficult time.

Myrtle, There was no one Mark loved more then you, he told me many times;
how you were the center of his life and how he loved taking care of his "granny".

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Laurene
