Professor Mack was a Master Teacher. He was a powerhouse of knowledge and humbling in significant ways words cant explain. He was my teacher at Howard! He held down the anthropology department to stay rooted and in truth. I miss him.

Good morning family. Yes my brother, friend Mark Mack is truly missed every day. My husband Rydell missed his friend and brother also. His memories with us will never faded.

I just happened to Google Mark yesterday, curious as to what he would have accomplished in his career, so the news was quite sad. Mark was a classmate and friend of mine when in 1985 at Howard University we were taking a course on representation of Africans in the art of antiquity. Mark singularly impressed me when we were talking about our day-jobs and he said that he curates (I think) "about 6000 human skulls" at the Smithsonian (if I recall correctly).

Today I still carry my brother, friend Mark in my heart. Mark was a favorite person to my husband, boys and me. He was a brother to my husband and me. And a uncle to my three boys. My husband Rydell always talk about Mark a lot. He always say it is like a dream and he needs to wake up, but I tell him no God has your brother now. We will always cherish the moments we share with our brother. RIH my brother. Love Rydell & Dianne and the Boys

.Betty and family,

My heart goes out to you in the loss of Mark's earthly body here on earth but we know that his spirit lives on. He lived an outstanding life and made an enormous contribution to science and the lives of countless young people. I am so glad that I got a chance to see him at Celebration of Life of my cousin Brenda Winburn. It had been many years since I saw him. He had a lovely wife and baby. I hope to talk to you soon. God Bless your family.

With great sadness, I learned of Mark's passing. With great joy, I think of the many lives he touched in such a profound and positive way.

I think of Mark and the Mack family often and will cherish our memories forever. (I have a lot of chuckles from Second Baptist Church, South High and Hayward Junior High.)

My heart and prayers are with you always.

Godfather- one having a relation to someone or something analogous to that of a male sponsor to his godchild:as one that founds, supports, or inspires. This definition of what a godfather can be holds true to my Uncle Mark, not as a man who founds, supports, OR inspires, but one who did ALL three. A man that helped create a foundation for me to grow from built on a love for education through sending me historical books, national geographic magazines, and summer hikes through John Bryan State Park whenever he was home. A man that made sure to call every birthday and holiday and a little times in between to let me know if I ever needed anything he was there. A man that stood as an example to always do what you're passionate about because that is where you will excel the most. As I sit here on this day forced to reflect on the impact Uncle Mark had on my life, there is no memory I have that I'm not fond of. He was there for me since day 1 literally, and I know that his spirit will go on with me forever. To Aunt Cindy, Mrs. Mack, Aunt Michelle, Mr. Mack, and baby Amirah, say not in grief 'he is no more' but in thankfulness that he was. Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen, they are present with you. I am ALWAYS here for you all!
With soo much love

To the Mack Family ~ Mark & Michelle have been dear friends since we all were little; growing up in Second Bapt. Church. This news saddens me deeply, the reality was just not possible. Mark had a genuine, caring, influential & brilliant way about him. "Mark I miss you dear friend". I just want to say I love you all like my own family. My prayers go to each of you. I am here for you if there is anything you need. God bless & may he wrap his healing arms around you during this time.

Letter From Heaven

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.

It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man,"

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go....from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.....
