Mark was an awesome softball coach to me, my sister and Stephanie. I am grateful to the Lundgren family (Mark, Punk, Stephanie and Beth) for welcoming me as one of their own for so many years as I was growing up and even as I got married and had children. God bless Mark’s soul. Hugs, love and prayers to his family.
Mark was a good friend who I will never forget. We enjoyed the music and the choir we got started at St. Marks. Love to Ilene, Steph and Beth. Love, Kathy Palazzolo Miller
Rest well old friend.
Stephanie I am so sorry about your dad.
I hope to get together someday with you and Joe ❤️
Beth, Steph and Ilene, we are so very sorry for your loss. You all cared so well for him for so long; your unconditional love was apparent. I enjoyed caring for Mark when he was here periodically at Genesys and he was very sweet. He will be fondly remembered.
Mark was a great guy. His music leadership and talent contributed so much to each service at St. Mark’s. We asked Mark to play at our wedding and he graciously accepted. We will never forget that wonderful night, especially his renditions of Helplessly Hoping and Tears in Heaven. May he finally rest and his family be at peace.
We are deeply sorry for your loss.
I will always remember his smile and how he could always make me laugh. sending warm hugs and praying for all of you.
Missing you my friend. RIP.
