Amy Palmer posted this on Mark’s blog today….
“My lover is gone…
Mark passed away this morning around 9:15. He was surrounded by our wonderful community, family and friends. He was so strong and brave. He never gave up, always filled with hope.
I loved Mark with my whole being…we loved each other. We both found love when we weren’t expecting it. I don’t think my love for him will ever die.
Although I’m in extreme pain, I must be strong for Micah. When I look at him, I see Mark and Jennifer.
I have so many questions…I had hope until his last breath.
Please remember Mark…he was an amazing teacher, student, and leader. He was a fantasic lover and husband. He was the best father anybody could ask for. I’m not quite ready to give him up, I probably never will.
Please pray for me…memories are really hard for me, I am very sentimental. “
Lord, have mercy……

Christ, have mercy….

Lord, have mercy.
