My deepest condolences to you and to all of his friends and family both in real life and on-line. I hadn't really "gotten to know" Mark much before his terrible revelation, but have since been deeply touched by his courage and dignity (yes, I know it may seem an odd choice of words for him, but I mean it) in the face of his situation. |

I just read Jim's message. I am grateful that we were all able to touch Mark's life and bring him some happiness.....in small return for all the laughs he brought us while he was at Epinions.
How I wish I could have gotten up to St. Louis earlier while he was well......I will think about him this weekend when I drive by the many places he reviewed--the Science Center, the zoo.... |

My thoughts and prayers are with Mark, his family, and friends during these times!
I have to say, I didn't know him long, but I can tell he has affected me greatly.
I am having a difficult time typing, as I try to see through the tears!  Hard_to_Please, you will be missed!

OMIGOSH, I can't get into Jim's report, but I'm guessing Mark died?????! I've been thinking about him the last two days and been reading Why Bad Things Happen To Good People. It was going to be my next review which would help him. Now I think it'll be a very sober review indeed. :-(

Oh, God! I get the message that Jim's opinion is in draft mode so I can only assume from everyone's words here that Mark didn't win his battle. This is terrible news. As with everything else that's been happening recently, I just don't want to believe this is true. |

I can't get into Jim's article-but I'm saddened.
Heaven just got a very special angel, I'd like to think that Mark is keeping all the other angels laughing with his unique sence of humor.

I am saddened beyond words by the loss of a man I called a friend, and a man I never got to meet - or hug - in person.
Mark, my prayers go with you. My thought and prayers are with your family. Go in peace, my friend. You will be sorely missed. |

The link is working again -- for now. Jim did a terrific job with news nobody wanted to hear. He says he's not done yet, though.

I wanted to try and write something eloquent--but there just aren't any words.
I have been thinking a lot about how he told us of his illness--and his caution about getting to a doctor if we sense something is wrong.
That may be for many of us, the best and the finest thing he did while he was at Epinions.
I'm just so very sad about this.

Omigod! I just found out via e-mail from Teresa (tlimjoco).
I just communicated with Mark three weeks ago via e-mail about sending him my latest EP check when I get it!
How sad.............
I assume we should still send in the checks we committed to as his family will need help, right? How should we make them out?

I never knew I had so many tears.

I'm just reading this today, so I'm 2 days behind. I was trying to remember what I was doing on Tuesday when Mark died, but I can't. It seems so hard to believe, I guess because I just really wanted him to have more time.

I can not tell you how sad I am about mark passing on. In the last few weeks, even though he was so ill we did manage to email a little. I had a few medical issues myself and even though he was so ill- he offerred emotional support to me. I was mad that I couold not seem to redeem my earnings on Epinions and send them to Mark. I finally decided to go ahead and send him a check and a long letter of wishes for renewed health. It went out the day he died. Oh god- I feel so awful. Such a young fellow- he died too young.
