Sheila ~ I am saddened to learn of Mark's passing and thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. I have fond memories of Mark going back to RJH and EPHS memories of you and Mark together. Because we didn't see each other often beyond high school, it was always a treat to "bump into" you two, and a reason to look forward to our reunions, as well. I'm happy to have been able to speak to Mark twice last year. ~ Much love to you ~ Joanne
