My condolences to Marque's family. Marque worked for Analysts
International for many years and that is how I met him. He was a
wonderful employee and a joy to work with. |

Marque worked for us at IBM for several years and was a
"great" guy to work with. He was one of our best employees
and will really be missed! |

I met Marque while working at Analysts International. He was such a
joy to have on staff, and I'll never forget the motorcycle ride he
gave me at IBM! My sympathies and prayers to his family!

I sold my our Ford Explorer to Marque. My husband Kirk and I moved to
Colorado from NY in Sept 1999. I was pregnant with my 4th son so we
needed more seats. We drove to where Marque lived and took him to the
credit union where we signed the title over. He had to drive me back
to Fort Collins. He told me all about his illness and we got to
yapping soooo much we passed the exit. It was funny. My late husband
died at 41 in 1996 from a brain tumor called glioblastoma multiforme.
Our sons were 8, 6 and 2 1/2 at the time of his death on 12/30. I
thought Marque was amazing because of his attitude. We kept in touch
briefly. I recognized the name as soon as I saw it. I was not able to
open any of the pictures.
Kirk and I have another son and his name is Cameron too. What a
beautiful tribute to your brother. I'm happy to hear he was a believer
in our Saviour. It is comforting to know we will be together again
some day.
My Mom died of lung cancer after 4 months in 1982 just before
Thanksgiving. This time of year is really full of alot of emotion for
me.
Thanks for keeping in touch and I will pray that God will comfort you.
Sincerely,

My Dad also has CML and I got to know Marque online -- we shared
emails after finding that we had some things in common -- I am a
pastor, and also have three sons. I was very interesting in the
dietary changes that Marque had made -- he always answered my
questions with such good humor. My memory of him, just through knowing
him by email, is of a man who loved God faithfully, loved his sons
passionately, and loved life actively.
God bless you all -- my life was enlarged by knowing him, and our
world is diminished by his passing into eternity. |

I would like to tell Marque's sons and his family that I knew Marque
from the CML Internet list, though I have never had the pleasure of
meeting him in person. He was a remarkable man.
I knew that he had participated in a number of trials and tried
several treatments to get his CML under control, unfortunately without
lasting success. He was a true CML warrior, but most of all he was a
family man and his boys were his life.
He lived life with an admirable zeal. We will all miss him.
Most of all I wish his boys a bright future as he would have wished it
for them. May the good memories sustain all of his family. |

Dear Cindy and Family
What a fitting and beautiful tribute to Marque. His light and love
touched his entire CML Family and he will remain an inspiration to all
of us.
Thanks for sharing this with us. It was a true joy and privilege to
get to know Marque. He will be missed but I know he's above smiling
down at all of you and his precious sons.
With love and prayers, |

What a wonderful web site. Marque and I (along with Gina) were some of
the originals. We all joined the list around the same time. We fought
hard together. I was so sadden when I heard Marque lost his battle,
but boy did he fight it. He was tough and a true CML Warrior.
Please take care of yourselves and his boys. |

Cindy, please give all your family a big hug from me! Tell the boys
they are in my thoughts and prayers!
I had the good fortune to meet Marque on-line and we quickly became
offline pen pals. We discovered we had a lot in common: our love of
scuba diving, alternative medicine approaches, and we even took our
vitamins alike - eat half, take the vitamins, then eat the other half.
Marque was my greatest supporter at a time when interferon was taking
its toll. He'd call and tell me about how great Gleevec was and that I
just needed to hang on and pretty soon I'd have my remission. He
talked me through the down times and laughed with me during the good
times. He taught me there is no such thing as 'false' hope.
I'll always remember Marques' smile, his laugh, his chili!, and most
of all his love of people. I am very blessed to have known him. |

Dear Cindy and The Boys,
I knew Marque from the CML list and he always gave me great hope and
support since my diagnosis in 2001. I never met him in person, but I
am so glad to have known him through the Internet just a little. He
had a zest and love of life that was inspiring.
My deepest sympathies to all of you.

Dear Cindy and family,
Marque was a loved member of our extended CML family. We will remember
him as a very positive and spiritual influence on our CML journey. We
wish you healing and comfort in knowing that Marque has impacted so
many and will live on in our memories. |
