I am very sorry to learn of Mark's passing, I liked him very much many years ago, when I was in housing, he was always friendly and helpful. He helped me at the lowest point of my life. I will never forget him, my deepest condolences to his family..God Speed Mark!

My condolences to the family. I'm sorry, I was not able to make it to the services in time, I was mistaken about the time and showed up late, sorry I did not get to see you in person Janet. I hope your heart is full of wonderful memories of Mark, and you can smile each and every time you think of him. I will miss seeing both of your smiling faces, neighborly waves Hi, and kind words. My friend Karl also wanted to give you his condolences. Sincerely your across the street neighbor Roshelle.

My deepest sympathies to the Thomas family. I got to know Mr. Thomas when my son and I were residents of the Swampscott Housing. He was always willing to listen, lend a hand or just to chat. But he was also tough and didn't take any BS. I have not lived in housing for quite some time but anytime I saw him he was always the same pleasurable person. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time
