Wendy,

I enjoyed seeing Mark and your family in Florida. We had a good time catching up to our old times at Schulze and Burch. Mark talked a lot about his family and how proud he was of them.

When we received a call from the Andreas' family we were shocked to hear about Marks passing. We are sorry we were not able to come to Chicago but our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear Cari, Jami, and Wendy, I want to share with you the sorrow I felt when I heard about your great loss. I share your pain, as I recently lost my dad. Tragedy like this is life's way of showing us how precious life is, and it's not to be taken for granted. I know that the three of you will make each other stronger, and your bond of family and friends will get you through this time. God Bless.
