Danielsons, I am so so sorry to hear of Mark’s death. I just heard or would have been there in person. I remember Mark as a sweet young man following Mike and I around everywhere and talking my ear off. I loved him then like a brother and I know you must all be devastated. You are in my prayers and thoughts. I know he is with Jerry now. My heart goes out to all of you.

Dear Family, I offer my deepest condolences for your most devastating loss. I’m sure that words could never ease the pain and heartache that you feel. God knows your pain and the many tears that you cry. May he soothe your hearts at this most difficult time. I pray that you are comforted by the outpouring of love from family and friends. (Revelation 21:4, 5)
Sincerest sympathy to the Danielson family. Son, Todd grew up with Mike and was a good friend of the Danielson family.
Remember the good times - Always be proud of Mark and his accomplishments.
He is with our Lord now.

Barb Our deepest condolences to you and family on the loss of your son. Keeping you all in prayer.
Condolences to your family. Sad, way too young. Blessings to you all as you deal with his passing. Our families prayers are with you!
Barb and family - I am so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May your loving memories help you in the days ahead.
Barb, Mike, Debbie and family, .
I can't begin to express how sad I am to hear of Mark's passing. The hurt I feel for you is undescribable. It's so hard to understand and comprehend how one can be taken at such a young age. Although we will never know why, we do know Christ will carry us through this difficult time. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I want to express my deepest condolences for your loss of Mark. Something I have personally found to be of great comfort is the promises from our creator Jehovah God. Rev. 21:4 says “he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” Then Acts 24:15 says we will be reunited with our loved ones we have lost by means of the resurrection. It’s my sincere hope that this can comfort you as well.
Dear Barb and family,
Jan & I were sad to learn that Mark had passed away Sunday. We are so sorry and can't imagine how much it hurts to lose a son and brother with so much life yet to live. But we also know that we can take comfort in our sure hope of the resurrection when we will all be together again and in the presence of our Lord. We hold you in our thoughts and prayers.
Dick
