A memorial to celebrate Mark’s life will be held in Denver on December 14 at Mile Hi Church. Mark always said no one should have to suffer in a suit and tie just because he is dead. So dress for the memorial is causal. In addition, a celebration of Mark’s life will be held at a later date in Manitowoc, WI. Donations can be made to: 1) Domus Pacis --http://domuspacis.org/how-to-help/donations/. This is a great organization that lets families dealing with cancer have a chance to just have fun and forget cancer for a week. 2) Forgotten Felines-- http://forgottenfelinesdenver.org/ Mark donated to this organization since its founding. They help to spay and neuter stray cats and feral cats in order to help keep down the feline population. He always felt that the only way we could make a difference in saving the animals is to get them spayed and neutered. 3) Peaceful Prairie Farm Sanctuary-- http://www.peacefulprairie.org/ Mark was a big advocate of veganism and saving the animals. He donated to this place and also did some manual labor for them. It is a really great place and so wonderful for the farm animals who get a chance at life.
