THIS IS LIKELY MY FINAL TOPIC

Message:
Hi everyone. I am writing you all to let you all know that I will be departing this world of wonder and enchantment much sooner than expected. Maybe hours,maybe days maybe weeks. We just just don't know.

I'm sitting here at university of cincinnati Med Center and it looks like a long anticipated liver and kidney transplant simply won't happen due to heart issue and vice versa. I have a great team caring for me and my wants or needs are few other than a miracle. One never knows I guess.

I consider each and every one of you a cherished friend and I hope you will do the same for me. Not many people get to send this message. It pleases me to do so.

Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one. I hope some day you will join us. And the world will live as one!!!! Until then, I'll be on the "other side" waiting with our preceeding friends family's and loved ones and hope you will join us.

IMAGINE THAT!

Calll if you have something to tell me or even if you don't. Don't feel bad if you missed the opportunity.as I'll see you eventually.

Until then, I'm just hanging out and hanging on.

Peace Out every one.

Your friend,
Mark G Vasko

I got an email tonight from Marks wife. He is doing better but is on constant dialysis. She said that they are considering doing a heart bypass before a kidney and liver transplant. They will know more later this week.

Mark, I'm so glad that we got to have dinner together last month. You're facing what everyone eventually faces with courage and humor and honesty. Nothing but the best for you, my friend, I hope for a miracle for you. YHC and I both send our hopes for both you and Mary.

I read your post with shock, sadness and inspiration. Your courage, faith and strength are something I hope I have if/when I might need it.

Mark I wish that a miracle does come your way, and your quality of life remains high. Your post displays a level of courage and understanding few people posses. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, we know very little of each other but I respect all you have contributed on these forums as our only means of contact. Blessings and positive thoughts being sent to you.

Dear Mark,

I am sorry that Dennis and I did not get the chance recently to meet you and Mary for dinner.

Your message is very inspiring. We are thinking of you, and wish you peace.

Sincerely,
