Hey Mark, Miss you buddy. I can't believe that you've been gone this long. I miss chatting about all of your ideas. I miss those late nights trying figure out how to get something to work. I'll carry those memories of you as best as I can.

Mrs.Rosenberger,
I am saddened to hear of Mark's passing. Mark had such a great sense of humour, a smile that can make your heart melt, and a brilliant mind. As a mother, I can't imagine the sorrow you are feeling, and there is not much I can say that will make your pain go away. Take solice knowing that you raised a loving and wonderful man, and he will be "tis in our memory locked". My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you and your family.

Dear Ron, Rose and Family:
Stan and I were shocked to learn of Mark's passing this morning. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you. I have always found comfort in this poem. I hope it will do the same for you ...
A rose once grew where all could see
Sheltered beside a garden wall
And, as the days past swiftly by
It spread its branches, straight and tall
One day, a beam of light shone through
A crevice that had opened wide
The rose bent gently toward its warmth
Then passed beyond to the other side
Now, you who deeply feel its loss
Be comforted, the rose blooms there
It's beauty even greater now
Nurtured by God's own loving care.

Ron and Rose, Although we haven't seen each other for a very long time, we had the greatest pleasure connecting with Mark, Holly and your two lovely granddaughters last year at Giulio and Mel's wedding here in Penticton. Daughter, Michelle (Bruce) was also in attendance and they had a great time reminiscing about their "good ole days". We thoroughly enjoyed Mark and his family. Treasure the memories. No words can possibly express our sorrow and the hurt is beyond anything we can understand but know Mark is at peace. Let God comfort you in your time of need.

It was such a great pleasure meeting you last summer. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.

Rosenberger Family,
Mark and I were close friends in high school and played hockey together. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. He was smart, kind, and one of the funniest guys you would ever meet; we both shared the same crazy sense of humour and had so many good times together. I know he will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know and love him.
