Pls keep Mark and family in your thoughts and prayers. Elaine went to the big race in heaven. Has been suffering from pancreatic cancer since September. Hurts your heart. We're all with you Mark.

Love you - Emily and Mike Volkman

Our hearts are broken. God must have needed an Angel. We can't even imagine Mark's pain. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. - Jim and Mary Jo Bailey -

Very sad news indeed. Prayers from the Cajun Group.

That is just horrible news. Elaine was just about the sweetest person. We got to know Mark and Elaine when they bought a place in Florida and became regular division 2 racers. My heart is just breaking for Mark. I can’t imagine his grief. God speed Elaine. Condolences to Mark and the family.

Elaine is wrapped in GODS arms.

Prayers for Mark and his family ,

On behalf of my parents, Mark & Elaine Nowicki, it is with profound sadness that I share the loss of my Mom. She passed away early this morning following a valiant four-month battle with pancreatic cancer. To my Dad, she was his everything: his best friend of over 50 years, his lover & wife of 47 years, the mother of me (his only child) & an exceptional homemaker, his encouraging cheerleader & consummate crew chief. However, on the day of her diagnosis in early September, the roles were immediately reversed between my parents and my Dad instantly became HER caretaker and cheerleader: a beautiful twist to their epic love story. While our heart breaks at her loss, we know the world, along with our racing community, was better having had her in it. God bless each of you for your thoughts, prayers, flowers, gifts, visits, text messages & telephone calls during her illness. Please continue to keep our family in your prayers, especially my Dad. And I thank you in advance for helping me prop him up as he grieves. May her soul rest in the peace of Heaven.

Brandie (Nowicki) Meisner
