Mark was so wonderful to me and my family in our times of need. He always sought out what is the best for us and kept us in his mind. We share same love for KSU, and often talked about KSU. My kids' times at UDS were wonderful because of him. Mark's family is very fortunate to have this man in their lives and I know he is a person I will not forget, nor his family will. Our prayers are with Mark's family.

I was fortunate to work with Mark for four years at UDS. As a new teacher to the program, Mark taught me so much about working with the entire family not just the child. I will always remember him for that. My thoughts & prayers are with his entire family. Thank you Mark for the lesson.
