My thoughts and prayers are with Mark's family. I remember the day Mark graduated from EFA, along with Dan. We cheered his accomplishment that day, his pleasant personality is something I remember. As I went to pursue a career in special education, I worked with others that had to work hard to meet goals, that come easy for most of us. So sorry to hear of the loss of Mark.
