Dear Henry and Mary,
My condolences go out to you. I met Mary briefly while visiting my Aunt Nettie Sawatzky (Abe). Nettie was my dad's(John Brown) sister and she was in hospital here in Saskatoon when I met Mary.

It was with great sadness that we learned today of Mark's passing. While I have lost touch with him over the years, it was a pleasure to know Mark as a colleague and friend. Mark’s love of life, his laughter, wit, positive attitude, and extraordinary work ethic were gifts he shared with anyone privileged to know him. He will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mark’s family and many friends.
