Bonnie, I am so sorry for your families loss. I just found out that Mark had passed, I wish I would of known sooner. I have found memories of him and the boys as we were growing up. My prayers are with your family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Linda, Jill and Family. Oh Mark...how we will miss your smile and good humor. If we weren't smiling or laughing when we came into your shop, we always were when we left! THANK YOU for being such a good friend to us. You will be missed dearly! You won't be calling me "Mr." anymore, but every time I hear "Mr.", I'll be looking up to you.

Nancy and family,
So sorry to hear about your loss of Mark.
I have some great childhood memories back on 112th Avenue in Coon Rapids, especially sneaking into Mark's room and listening to his Neil Young albums!
May you all be comforted in Gods arms at this difficult time.

To the family of Mark VanBergen,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. May God comfort and guide you through all the days ahead.

Linda, Jill and Family,

We will all miss Mark, but his laughter and love of life will always be with us. I loved to tease Mark and he gave it back to me as fast as I dished it out. I'm sure he is up in heaven right now enjoying the company of so many that have passed on.

Most of all we will remember him as a man of great talent, sincerity and humor. Mark can be proud of the wonderful legacy he left for his loved ones in his strength of character and courage when faced with life’s obstacles. Passing time will never fade all the special memories he made, loved ones never really part for they live inside our hearts. We are fortunate to have known Mark…

Linda, Jill and to all of the Van Bergen family,
We are so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. May your love and memories ease your sorrow a little more each day.
Albert Einstein had a theory that when any LIVING thing passes away, the energy of that living thing is released and is all around us. May Mark's released energy hold you close and ease your sorrow until you meet again.

Blessings to all of you.
