To Vivian and her daughters,

I am truly sorry for your loss. Mark was a good man. A man of great quality and distinction. We enjoyed very memorable time together.

I will never forget the quality of understanding while he was with our family. The Hackley-Cunningham family will never forget him. He was a truly good son-in-law when he was married to my daughter and I know he was a good and loving husband and provider to you. HE was truly the Master of Fate and the Captain of His Soul.
