  1. “Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their
    echoes are truly endless”.

    ~Mother Theresa

  2. Mark touched all our lives with his larger-than-life gentleness and loving ways. He wanted nothing for himself but to assure his beloved Grandmother Opal was taken care of and surrounded by friends. In his determination to do that, he found HIMSELF surrounded by countless friends who loved and cared for HIM, as well. He was amazed and humbled but gratefully touched. He will never be forgotten.

  3. Ken and I were sorry to learn of the passing of Mark Edward Cole. He and I had visited by telephone and email in his last year of life, and enjoyed visits in his home on two occasions in the last two years of his life with him, his brothers, and his grandmother Opal Littlejohn. They were joyous occasions and we were happy to know that Mark cared deeply about his family and his grandmother. He will be sorely missed by his family, friends, and grandmother.
