Words cannot express the barrage of emotions Mark’s untimely passing evokes. Gary and I cling to the memory of Mark’s joy as we shared the weekend celebrating Peter and Lauren’s beautiful wedding. Forever will we hold Mark in our hearts and fondest memories. Ellen, Garrett, Lauren, Peter – we forever hold you in our prayers, hearts, and family’s circle of love. May our roots continue to entwine as we live Mark’s legacy of love in our expanding family. Gary and Melinda

The more I remember and learn about Mark, the more I want to live life the way he did: with a sense of fun, with loads of original ideas, with deep involvement in the organizations that mattered to him, with steadfast loyalty to his family, and the gentle way he cherished his spouse. He is a person to emulate. He will be so missed.

Ellen and family,
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel about Mark's death. Mark always had a smile on his face...you couldn't help but smile too. You can't help but admire the life Mark & Ellen made; the adventures they have taken, the love they shared, and the way they knew how to live life to the fullest. Mark touched our hearts & lives in so many ways. He will never be forgotten. I am here for you with love, support, & strength during this time of grieving. With sincere sympathy, Sonya

We were so sad to hear the news about Mark. Our hearts go out to Ellen, Lauren and Garrett. Mark was fun, kind, caring and concerned. He had a special quality as a truly positive person who stood out in a world full of negativity. We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to know and enjoy Mark as a good friend for many years. We will always hold him in our hearts.

Ellen, Lauren, Peter, and Garrett,

Please feel the love that encircles you all. It is carried from the love that we all received from Mark. You, Ellen, and Mark himself, have been so kind to me in recent years. May you remain open to receiving that kindness in return.

Someday again may you feel peace and joy.

I enjoyed working with Mark over the years at HCR ManorCare and am glad I convinced him to move to Toledo. He will be missed by many.

I was very sorry to learn of your tragic accident. I hope that you make a full recovery from your injuries and are able to take comfort in your memories of Mark.

Best Regards, Sue Sexton

Dear Ellen and family,

I am at a loss for words. It is so difficult to believe that Mark's vibrant spirit is no longer inhabiting his body. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you struggle to resume your lives without his physical presence. I wish you well on your journey to healing from this great loss.
