Redfield Family, I am so sorry to read about Mark. You may not recall, but we (The Reifs) lived down the street from your family on Matthew Drive, before you moved away, Bill and I were maybe even in the same grade together. Mark and I made that connection after we had worked together for a few years at Roberts Wesleyan. Some of the faculty-related administrative matters of my jobt kept me in regular communication with Mark. ] I remember your Dad and husband as a gracious, intelligent, compassionate man and I was deeply sorry when he told me of his early onset Alzheimers. We have missed his presence on campus the past few years-he was a beloved faculty member. I know that the past few years must have been difficult for all of you, — I lost my mom last year to Alzheimers as well-it was not an easy journey. I wish you God’s peace as you remember him, and in the difficult days and weeks ahead. May he rest in peace. – Sandy Reif Brown
