  41. Dear Sue & family….
    I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband Mark…he is no longer suffering and is at peace…Keep his memories close to your heart…..

  42. Sue & Family — I went through grade school with Mark; he and Roger went to high school together — We first met you when our children were in school together. These are lifetime, yet scattered connections. Over the last several years, I didn’t see Mark often – but I know that those three or four times a year that I did run into him, it made me smile. Even a brief conversation would bring a bit of sunshine to the day.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire Salce family. May you find comfort, peace and smiles in your memories.

  43. Bro. Mark was my friend and a Brother Knight of Columbus. He will be missed. RIP, and consolation to his family.

  44. I was so saddened to hear of Marks passing. He was such a wonderful, warm, loving man. I’ve known him for most of my life and it didn’t matter if it were years since we had seen each other or a few days he was there with a smile and a bear hug. I send the entire family peaceful loving thoughts and know that I am a better person for having known Mark.

  45. As believers, we know that Mark is with the Lord and there are no more tears and suffering. May this comfort you in your darkest hour.
    Your Christian friends at Creation church.
    Cis and Joe
