April 4, I received the horrible news that Mark Brown, a past roommate of 3 years and one of my best friends had passed away on a hard fought battle to cancer.  He gave it everything he had, but regrettably it was not enough.  He has left behind a beautiful wife and daughter, two sisters, mother and father, and many friends and relatives that loved him so much.  I am setting up this gofundme page as a scholarship for Maja's education to help Mark and Izabela send Maja to school when the time comes.  All Mark wanted was to make sure his wife and daughter were taken care of, but regrettably, it was out of his hands.  He would appreciate any help you can give them, so please give what you feel comfortable with. Also, feel free to comment on the things you loved and you will miss about him.  I will miss the trash talking we used to do whenever the Red Sox were playing his Yankee’s, his endless smile, and his positive attitude towards everything.  He was taken from everyone, way too soon!!!
