To the Jones Family,
I did not know Mark, but I feel connected to your family. I am so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. I knew Mark's father. He taught me in the 6th grade(1940s) at a little country school in Jamestown, SC. I loved his teaching and have not forgotten what a fine man he was. Give my love to Mrs. Alice. Adra Finklea Benton remembers, too. She taught at Jamestown at this time. We have fond memories. May God bless all of you.

I worked with Mark at Benefitfocus before I left in August to stay at home with my girls. Mark was always so nice and we swapped stories and updates about our girls. Lila was the light of his life and he was always excited to talk about her and share what she was up to. I have been praying for all of you since I heard the news and will continue to do so. May God bless you both!

Kathy, you probably dont know me but I worked with Mark on daily basis , we would either be on phone or on chat discussing work issues. It was a big shock when I heard the news, since I had spoken with him that Friday. I pray that may God grant you and your family lots of patience and strength in these hard times, also to give Mark high place in heaven.

Mark was great to work with, one of those marvelous people who remembered and asked about what's important to others. He always had a grin and a kind word. I miss him and we're all glad for the time we shared with him.

Kathy and Lila, I know there are no words that can take away the pain and sadness you are feeling, but may you draw strength from knowing that Jesus is and will be with you just as Mark's sweet loving spirit will be with you each and every day. I will keep you in continuous prayers.

We were caught off guard by the news of Mark's sudden death. Our minds were flooded with so many memories of Mark, his mom and dad from Awendaw First Baptist Church and of course, you Kathy and your family. You are in our prayers and I know that God will wrap his loving arms around you and Lila as you traverse this new path in your lives.
