Today is the one year anniversary of Mark's death from cancer. Please say a prayer for Mark's wife, Rebecca. I imagine it will be a hard day for her.
I never got the pleasure of meeting Mark in person but I knew him through his blog, "Cancer is killing me. I will never give up." I mourned for Mark like he was family when he passed away. He had an impact on my life. I have not forgotten him.
Mark knew what he was dealing with - knew that he had a matter of months to live. He made up his mind to fight the disease though. Cancer would ultimately take his life but it could not take his LIFE. The love, the friendships, the memories, the passion, the spirit... cancer had no claim on these aspects of Mark's life.
Cancer is ugly but I think it can be beat one day. And that is my hope...
I will never give up.

Prayers said for all cancer fighters, past and present.

I am with you... there is a cure and it can be found. We won't give up.
I still read his blog, but I am sure today will be a hard day. I have a friend that took her first chemo treatment yeaterday. I pray for that cure, everyday.
Sad day...we lost quite a few bloggers this year. There will be a cure...sooner than later, I hope.
Oh precious has it been a year? My goodness! Praying for him and his family and your sweet spirit (as always) ; )
What a wonderful tribute to Mark. I hope his wife is as touched by this post as I am.
Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)
Prayers sent. I'm sorry to hear about Mark.
I've lost all of the previous two generations of my family from cancer (minus one who died of other causes). I have a major disgust with this disease. It scares the bujeebus outta me.
I pray this disease is cured so it never takes a loved one, anyone's loved one, again...
I also pray that cancer can be beaten.I lost my Momto lung cancer.Something the Bryant Gumble is now fighting as well.
You are so lovely - I only knew Mark through your blog and the links you posted. I have indeed said a prayer.

Having lost some family members to cancer as well, I know how painful that loss can be.
Praying for Rebecca, those who are still fighting the battle and for the cure!
I hate cancer. I pray for the day a cure comes. Rest in peace Mark. I will contine your fight! God loves you Rebecca. Stay strong.

Praying for a cure for my Nana, for Mark's sister, and for everyone else out there affected.
