I was so sorry to hear of your great loss. I know Mark was a wonderful Son and Brother to all of you. Our family always enjoyed spending time with the Lashmets. Many happy memories. Dick and Mim were great Godparents to me, and Audrey was the best neighbor a little girl could ever have. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear ones,
We did not have the privilege of knowing Mark as well as we do the rest of the family, but his great smile and the love of his family and friends is a wonderful trait from his parents. We hope the special memories of times you all shared will be a blessing and give you peace and strength...and a laugh or two.
Love and Prayers,

Growing up in Winchester, IL, I spent a lot of time at the "old brick" Lashmet house playing with Mary, Michelle, Rita and Anita. What fond memories I have Mark and of your family and the great times together.

Please know each of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

With love and sympathy,

Dear Lashmet's,

My deepest sympathy to all of you especially Mark's children. What fond memories I have of all of us as kids. I remember my cousin Mark always with a big smile and laughing. I think about how lucky we all were growing up and getting to spend so much time together as family for b-day's, 1st communions, holidays or just dinner at grandma Audry's after church. We all looked up to our good looking older cousin Mark. May he be at peace with Uncle Dick and the rest of our family in heaven. Praying and missing you all.

Love,
cousin Vicki

Mark and his family are like family to me and my family. Even though you dont see each other for a period of time, when a loss happens it hurts so deep. Mark was a great man who loved life. I was just a little girl when I use to go to the house and run around with Melissa and Megan. I remember him with his big smile and great laugh. He was a big teddy bear. I am deeply deeply saddened by his passing and I know his family and friends are as well. My thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends of Mark to have strength in this hard time. With love and sincerity,

My deepest condolences to all who were touched by Mark or the fine examples of himself that still live on in his children. This is a sad time and hopefully some comfort will come in seeing his kindness and love personified through Melissa, Megan, Cody, James and Josh.
