Mark was a wonderful kind man and a truly kindred spirit. He was a true seeker of Self-realization and Conscious Being, and was all his life learning to understand the mystery of Life, and he is now with it. He had a full life, and was ready to go on, and will be dearly missed by his family and friends. Safe passage, our Dear Mark. With all our Love, Tatyana and Natasha
