Cheryl,

Oh my gosh! I am very surprised and saddened to hear this. Mark will
definitely be missed by all those whose lives he touched, which includes all
the blind of this country.

I just found out one of my friends has passed away. Mr. Mark Marvel.
We both had lost our vision from Diabetes, he was also a kidney transplant
survivor.
Below is the information that was posting on the Blind Ambitions Group
Website.
I wrote a column for the paper a few times about travel. He will definitely
be missed.
He was from the Great State of Delaware. Same age as me 46, in fact, his 46
birthday was March 24 that was only 3 days ago.
It is with sadness that I pass on this news that our dear friend and
colleague Mark Marvel passed away this morning in his home in Newark,
Delaware. He had been battling with diabetes for many years. You may recall
that following his own sight loss, he founded Blind Ambitions Groups
http://www.blindambitionsgroups.org/ and did many wonderful things to
increase the independence and employment of persons who are blind. Mark was
certainly ambitious himself and was a great role model and support to many
persons. This is just one small example of how he used his positive attitude
and networking skills to help better the lives of those around him.
