Mark visited my desk several times a day and kept my spirits up with his comical quips. He kept me supplied with KitKats and Blueberry NutriGrain bars because he worried about me not eating. It saddens me deeply to lose such a ray of sunshine in my office! My prayers are with him and his family on his final journey home.
