My heart goes out to Angel and to Mark's family. Mark and I had so much fun at Village Inn! We worked the same schedule together for almost 5 years. The late closes during the week and the early, too early, Sunday mornings. Mark and my husband (Nick) also hung out alot, and always said that they were bro's. My husband sends his condolences and wishes that he could be here to pay his respects. (he is deployed on his 2nd overseas tour). If there is anything we can do to help please let me know. (269-5547) Mark was such a funny, sweet, and caring guy and he will be missed greatly! God be with you in helping you through this unimaginable loss. love, Lynn and Nick Uzelac

To Mark's family and to the love of his life Angel, I am deeply sorry from the bottom of my heart for the large loss in your life. Words can not take away the pain that you are feeling. There is no way to get over the loss of Mark. Mark was a loving, kind man, a man that would do anything for anyone. Mark and I crossed pathes a few times in life and everytime we met he was the kindest person anyone would want to meet. Mark will live on in all the wonderful thoughts and memories of his family and friends. My prayers are with you at this horrible time in your lives.
-- Amber Grant

To the Family of Mark. I worked with him for over 7 years. He was a fun loving sweet hart. I and everyone else at VI will mess him deeply. Linda you raised a fine son.
