June,
Mark's picture still hangs behind my desk at work and so I get to see him everyday. We still miss him so much, and his "cheerful even in the morning moods" and all the funny phrases he coined. I hope you and Lisa are doing well.

I am so sad to hear about Marks' passing. I had been lucky enough to know Mark while I worked in, not only the car business, but also, the golf business. We shared many stories together over the last 12 years of friendship. I'm gonna miss my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family during this sad time.

10 years of friendship, the best friend I have ever had! I have always felt our friendship a great privilege. Mark was always happy and strong, even through very tough times. He always kept things in perspective and with a positive twist. We had a common love for cars and sports, with many visits going late into the night, just talking about them. Mark has been a constant in my life, and his passing leaves me feeling quite alone. He will always be in my heart.

June,
I wish there were words to describe the sadness with which we received the news of Mark's passing. Roger wept for his friend, a life taken too soon. Noah couldn't believe that he would not be able to look up and see Mark walking up the drive.
Our prayers are with you and Lisa.
