Marci,

Julie and I are very sorry to hear about Mark´s passing. As you know, he always had something funny to say and was such a great man. I´ve known Mark since high school. We had a lot of good times together such as lunch at Chuck´s, partying after HS basketball games, staying over at Lake Heyward, going to bars around the Hartford area, pledging the TKE fraternity at CCSU, golfing in the DAV tournament every year and most recently, boating on the CT river. You were the Love of His Life, it was easy to tell in how he treated you. I´ll never forget Mark telling us about you after the Halloween party where you two met; he knew right away you were the "one." We hope the wonderful memories you shared during your life together will help you through this difficult time and in the years to come.
Again, we are very sorry, please keep in touch.
