I just learned of Mark's passing today. Mark's sister Linda and I were best friends and lived two doors apart. I knew the family for years and have the fondest of memories of the best times Linda and I spent together. Mark was a bold little boy who grew into a kind and gentle man. My condolences to Karen and Michelle.

Dear Karen and Michelle, we were so unbelievably upset to hear of the passing of your dear brother Mark. We are his neighbors and truly loved Mark. We know he had a long journey with his disease but didn´t think it would take him so abruptly. I know you are her cleaning out his house and we would be more than honored to help you if needed. We ask God to bless Mark and his family. With friendship and love, sincerely Christine and Raymond Kruk.

My Deepest Sympathy to the Yefko family. I was a close friend to Mark's mother Evelyn. She and I worked together in the VA Building at Social Security. She was a wonderful person. We sat by eachother and would talk all the time. I remember when her daughter Linda died. I think Linda was my age. Now sorry to see on here that Evelyn's son Mark died. I know he will be with Evelyn now and his sister Linda and his father. I will say a prayer for him.
RIP Mark
