Notification from Jeanne Denney
July 2025
Dear friends of Mark.
It is with a more than heavy heart and a lot of tears that I have to report that Mark died this afternoon on the way to the hospital. I do not have many details at this time.
What I DO know was that he was deeply touched by this outpouring of support for his well-being over these few days we have been collecting
funds. Here is a quote from him 2 days ago:
"Thanks so much for doing this, Jeanne. If there's one thing this cancer journey has taught me, there are a lot of people I love and who love me in return. That is something to discover over a lifetime."
So thank you. Your message of love and support was received loud and clear.
I know that it made a difference.
Of course, since the original purpose of these funds has changed,
I will refund money to anyone that wishes it. I do know that there will be plenty of expenses in the wake of Mark's death. These funds will be
repurposed to support Muriel, his widow, and cover these costs.
Anything more anyone wants to add will probably be gratefully received. But how odd to be talking about money.
For all that he gave, may we offer Mark what, all in all, is more useful right now. Something he asked for when missing a board meeting recently. I asked what we could offer.
"... maybe take a moment of
silence to feel any gratitude for whatever
contribution I've been able to make..."
I wonder if we might all light a candle and do just that right now while Mark is making this great change. I add the ho'oponopono prayer:
Thank you
I love you
Please forgive me
I forgive you
I wish you so well on this new (and old) journey
Power on dear brother Mark. I thank you deeply through my tears
for your love, protection, guidance, insight, difficulty, joy, and profound friendship.
And thank all of you for your expressions of love.
love,
Jeanne
