Thanks from Mark Evaloarjuk’s family

We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude for all the help, support, guidance, prayers, food, flowers, and people who just came in for moral support from out of town, who called to give condolences, and were there for all of us in our time of need when we lost our beloved Mark Evaloarjuk to his courageous fight with cancer on July 3, 2002.

Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts. We will always remember the kindness that was shown to us and remember Mark with love in our hearts.

A special thanks to:
