I'll miss you. Knowing you really enriched my life in so many ways. It wouldn't have been nearly as much fun without having known you. Save a dance and a sled run for me, Mark.

With fond memories of a kind and generous fellow dancer. Remembering the Twist & Shout in Bethesda immediately brings back memories of Mark - there to welcome and help newcomers and make one glad one had showed up! I'm so sad he has left us.
