Dear Sherry and Glenn, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember spending time with Mark and my brother Paul at your house as a child. Mark had the most awesome train set I had ever seen. I have many memories watching him work on it and care for it. He also was the only person I knew that had a mouse maze. Could have been a gerbil maze not sure, I think I was 5 or 6 at the time. I always new he would grow up and do great things, and he has 2 beautiful children and many friends to prove that's true. You will be missed Mark.
All my love and sympathy,
Suzanne Blaufuss Fuller

You will never know the heartache you leave behind or see the tears that stain our faces. They say everything happens for a reason but I now know that is not true anymore. What reason could there possibly be for you to leave? We are missing a part ourselves for it died with you. You are going to be missed there are no more words left to describe it.

May 3, 2015

I am so sorry to hear that we have lost such a wonderful person. Mark was a great friend and father. He was such a caring, giving person. He will be sadly missed. His friends and family have my thoughts and prayers. RIP friend.

Sherrie and Glen,
We lived down the street from you on Widmer. Our son, Ty was a playmate of Mark. I was also his Kindergarten teach at Holy Trinity. Our prayer are with you and your family.

Dear Glen and Sherry, I am so sad to hear the news of Mark's death. He was a great friend and neighbor. I have many happy memories of playing tag with him on Parkhill Circle, and the time he took me to a concert with tickets he won from a radio station. He was a lot of fun and had a kind heart. He was always nice to everyone. I am thinking of your family during this sad time for you.
Warmly, Jenny (Meier) Kowal

Sherry and Glen my thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember how fun it was to car pool to Holy Trinity with Mark. He entertained us with his many humorous stories. I also remember how hard he worked to become an Eagle Scout and how proud he was to receive that honor..

I'll keep in touch. Peggy Franke
