To the Marella Family,
I just heard about Mark's recent passing, I met this news with shock and sadness. My sincere sympathy to you all at this difficult time. I will remember you all in my daily prayers

October 8, 2013

It is with great shock and sadness that I offer my condolences to you. I graduated both high school and college with Mark and cannot in all that time recall him saying a cruel word to anyone. He was a wonderful person with an infectious laugh and a genuinely kind heart. When I introduced him and Greg Pelosi to my roommates at BU, they asked me if all the guys from my hometown were that nice. He has left an indelible impression on all of us who knew him and we mourn your terrible, terrible loss along with you. Sincerely, Jen (DeLuca)
