I am SO sorry to hear that Mark is no longer with us. I'm praying and thinking about your family in this heartbreakingly impossible time. I worked with him for a long time, and in that time he became a dear friend who continued to stay in touch and we talked often. I could always count on compliments and laughs from Mark, his nickname for me was legs after he saw me in non-scrub pants for the first time lol. I will cherish our conversations and memories forever. I hope he is now free from any pain (and boredom, as he would say!) Mark will truly be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. Rest up Marky, fly high and rock on, love you!
