There is not an emoticon/smiley to convey my feelings.
I think maybe you're one of the lucky ones who gets to graduate early? That's what I like to think.

Mark, on behalf of the other members I'd like to thank you for your contributions and the time you've spent here. I know that you've offered lots of technical advise to many of us, and I'm sure you've made some friends in the process.
If there is anything that a member here can help you with, I hope you will ask.

Steve

A total shock! Wow, I am so sorry to hear this, Betty called and told me the sad news.

My thoughts and prayers are for you Mark, your a good man and a genuine person and that will never change.

Been trying to get some stuff done at work to stop thinking about you, but just can't shake this awful sadness, life is short God bless you.

I will be in touch with Wally and your lovely wife Betty, if their is anything I can do please let me know.
