I'm not sure what prompted me to think of Mark today. But I am so very sorry to hear of his passing, especially for you, Sue. I haven't seen you guys since Mooday days, but have heard of Mark's ministry from time to time. I am so glad for how God has used you and your family. So proud to have known you both. We grieve with you & pray for God's comfort.

Sue, we are so sad to learn of Mark's passing from this earth. Heaven is his home. All of us here at Hope will miss his awesome musicianship that he so faithfully provided - from music arrangements, rhythm charts, piano accompaniments, to studio singing, and so much more. Mark will be remembered. Peace to you and the family.

Sue and family, I just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear that Mark passed away. I did not know him well, but I got the impression that he was a wonderful man. I wish I could have gone to the funeral. Sue I miss working with you and want you to know that if you need anything let me know. Love Kara Hendry

Our prayers and support continue to go out for Sue and all of the children. Pastor Zach is a huge blessing to our church here in Indiana. We know Zach's father was very formative in Zach's life and ministry. We have been greatly blessed though indirectly by Mark's life.
The memorial service was a beautiful and personal celebration of Mark's life. It was God-centered, intimate and very special. So glad to have been able to view it online.
We are praying and trusting in God's sustaining grace to be with this family in a very special way.
Hope and prayers from Lake Hills Baptist Church in Schererville, Indiana

I don't have words enough to say how I feel right now. Mark become one of my closest friends while we were serving together in Jacksonville, and his devotion to Jesus and to his family were such.. ARE such.. An inspiration to me. Mark, you may have preceded us home, but your work here continues through all of us whom you impacted so greatly. I am ecstatic for you - you win.. I mourn for your family and friends - we lose you, for now...
Godspeed, brother.
