To my cousin Mark, when i married in 2010 I decided that purple was going to be the color and that is because I wanted to include you even though you were no longer with us. We was confirmed together and graduated together. So on my special day I wanted you with all of us so purple was the color. It was away to honor and remember you. I have a picture of you in my brother's wedding and the picture sits on our TV stand. I am the one who puts the purple flowers at the cemetery for you. Love and miss you my cousin. One day we will be together again in heaven.
Love cousin Carolyn

40 years ago today you came into our lives like a "ray of sunshine" to complete our little family. Your absence left a painful, gaping hole. No more long talks in person and sharing of stories (many things happened since that dark night). No more birthdays and holidays together. No more cheesecake and salsa (we can't make it the same). Thanks for the lovely grandchildren, they are a great reminder of you!!!!! We are grateful to have them in our lives. Keep looking over your little family.
You are always on our mind....
Missing you so much.
Mom & Dad
September 21, 2010
I cannot believe that two years have passed since I received the news you had left this earth. You were such a special person who taught me a lot. You're always in my thoughts and prayers. I know that we'll meet up again some day and catch up on old times.

Hi, Carla, Pauline and Mark Jr., So glad, Pauline, that you signed up for soccer. It is a good sport to be in. My son, Gregory, was in soccer at Lew-Port. Today; he is a father with two daughters. Gregory and his wife are involved with soccer; started a co-ed league and he is a soccer referee now and one of his daughters is old enough to start playing; she's 5. Gregory knew your father, Pauline and really, really liked him very much. Your Dad is a good man. I saw a sign on the road to South Padre Island, Texas today; smooth waters will not make a skilled sailor. I pray you'll all be skilled sailors. I remember my parents during situations that cross my path. Your husband and father (and our Lord for sure) will be your "one that will hold you up." The one that is your angel too. hugs.

I just signed up for soccer.

it hurts too much to write in this book anymore. it's been hard as hell trying to understand life without you. but i'm doing the best i know how. i would say right about now 9 years ago we were eating our first meal together as husband and wife. and right about now we should be at a nice restraunt celebrating. but instead i will be eating left over pizza knowing that you would like that cause i'm sure you've seen the crazy amount of left overs i've thrown out since you and hurricane have been gone!! miss you everyday and love you so much! happy anniversary
December 14, 2009
Gone but not forgotten. You came into our lives 39 years ago today.The memories are plenty and we miss your smile and wit.Pauline and Mark are a delight. I guess we will have to eat the Blackforest Cake for you. Loving you always Mom & Dad
September 21, 2009
Like everyone else, I can't believe it has been a year since that awful day. we're all still struggling and somehow making it through. you and Dave probably sat down and had a beer together. We all miss you. We miss you both. Lois & Dan

Hey Mark. I can't believe that it has been a year already. I see Marky and Pauline each day at school and I can't believe how big they are getting. It was Marky's first day in technology last week and when I look at him I can't believe how much he looks like his daddy when he was that age. Keep watching over them from up there!
September 15, 2009
Hey Mark,
Wow what can I say but I miss you lots!!! Just looking threw the pictures people posted and it makes me want to cry! Had bike night here in Wilson a while back....it was hard to walk past where you were parked last year and not see your bike....(That one I cried)
You are missed so much and will never be forgotten!!

I found this picture of Mark a few weeks ago. I love the sweet look on his face and wanted to share it. This is from my wedding, he came dressed in old grungy jeans, vest, and his hat with the middle finger on it while my sister was dressed in a pretty gown. I’m pretty sure I was his favorite person to annoy but with a smile like that I could never stay mad at him long. I miss Mark and Dave so much.

Hi Mark, I still can't believe ur gone. You are missed very much! I wish you were here to give Nick a talk. He gave us all a scare a couple days ago. He was one lucky guy and I think u were, actually I know u were there watching over him. Thank you. Before Nick went into surgery, he gave me ur ring to keep for him. I wore it all the time for the last couple days and I felt that you were with me keeping my head up. Trying to stay positive. Nick asked for the ring back today and I gave it to him because I know that he loves to wear it. Carla is one strong woman. She's helped me out a lot and I know she misses u more than words can say. Love you and miss you always!

hi mark...six months yesterday since you have passed. repeating myself but it's still hard to grasp and understand. i know it's suppose to be part of life but it still just seems so wrong. so many things left undone, so much life left to live taken away just like that. we all miss you so much and think of you and remember you every day. this week brian g and his "crew" came over and cut down the four trees that were sick and dying. yes even the big willow tree. it looks so differant but there's definately more room now for you to shine down and watch over us. i know your here holding me up, that's what's keeping me going every day and giving me the strength to hold on and keep fighting. sylvia browne is coming to niagara falls friday on her farewell tour. robin and i have tickets to go. so send down some of that energy my way. a message from you would make my day. it's sad that that's what it boils down to for me to try and communicate with my husband. makes me want to scream...oh wait, i do! but that only helps for a minute. i send you lots of kisses.
I LOVE YOU MARK!

hi mark...i know it's about time right? same ol' around here, feelin' mopey and missing you like never before. things just aren't the same but of course how could they be, your not here. ilooooooooooooooo,,.....that was your son. i walked away for a minute to help pauline. he said he was trying to write i love you to daddy. i'll let him try again with some help this time. :)
i love you dad. you always made me happy daddy.
well that was just cute and heart breaking at the same time. i can see the hurt in his eyes when he talks about you.
i still can't believe what happened and i'm still trying to figure out why. my strength is weakening but i'm still trying. you know me...i never give up! the benefit was a success. so many people, so much love and support. i wanted to tell you all about it the next day but it was too hard. i was so emotional the sunday after i just couldn't force myself to do it. and i figured you already knew. i'm sure you were there. maybe that's why your picture fell off the easle and crashed on the floor...you were saying hello, weren't you? the kids are sick AGAIN! pauline had the flu and now they both have strep throat. fun. mark, keep watching over us and keep shining your love down on us. i'll still be down here loving you and missing you. i'm always looking for signs so keep on sending them.
I LOVE YOU MARK!

I LOVE YOU MARK!

as i get ready to go to bed, all i can think about is how i'll be waking up to what was our wedding day just 8 short years ago and how you won't be there next to me. right about this time was when we said good-bye to eachother after the rehersal dinner the night before our wedding. i can't believe your gone. i can't stand being without you. it's still all so unreal. i still have piles of our wedding napkins that i was saving for our 25th wedding anniversary party...now what? i'm going to bed, i'll see you in my dreams my love.
I LOVE YOU MARK!

hi mark..the kid's made a valentine for you so i scanned it and put it in the guest book photo album. we all miss you so very much. i wish you were here to make fun of my clumsiness like you always did. today i was in the dinning room helping mark put his pants on and i went to bend down to get his foot unstuck from the inside and i bashed my head on the dinning room chair. it hurt a lot and yes i have a giant goose egg on my forehead. GREAT! in my mind i could still hear you saying....um carla, there's a chair there. happy valentine's day my sweet.
I LOVE YOU MARK!

hi mark..the days sure are rough, nights rougher. thought i should write, it's been a while. i am busy but never too busy for you. sometimes i just have no idea what to say. i'm so speechless lately when it comes to sitting at the computer to write.devastated is still an under statement. i have been seeing improvements from mark and pauline. it's been a rough road for the two of them. they try to go on with their normal days, but normal days for them usually include their father so it's tough for them and sometimes they act out. but their attitudes have improved a lot. mark jr. still tries to have candy for breakfast and pauline still asks for a real horse atleast once a week. i don't think she'll ever give up on that even though she knows it's not possible. on a recent entry that did not get approved, i told about something i found that pauline made for you. i'm sure you remember. it was a birthday card for your 37th birthday december 2007. it has a house,sun, birthday candles with a 3 and 7 and a heart that says i love dad. on the inside she wrote HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE WITHOUT YOU? wow, i almost forgot about that and i was blown away when i found it because just 9 months later the poor girl (along with the rest of us) was finding out just that. let me use a differant word this time....how crappy. i will never understand why we have to spend the rest of our lives without you. such an awesome person in so many ways. all i can say is darn you adam and eve!!!
I LOVE YOU MARK!

January 25, 2009
hi mark..i wrote to you earlier today but it's not on for some reason. maybe cause i used a naughty word. guess i should have said crappy instead of the other word i used. i'll have to rewrite it another time. i'm getting the kid's ready for bed now so i'll write later. still trying to figure out how you managed to get them to bed on time at night. i can hear you now saying "it's not hard, your just a push over and they know they can get away with things with you" very true...i'm working on that, i'll get there! miss you babe
I LOVE YOU MARK!

Hey Mark,
Well, it's been a long time since I've written to you, but that does not mean I don't think about you all the time. I miss you very much!
I wanted to tell you about the Benefit your friends and family are having in your memory, and in honor of Carla, Pauline and Mark Jr.
Carla thinks I'm the best person for the Public Relations job! (I think she thinks I am the best BS Artist, doncha know? HaHa) I know you know I will do the best job I can for you!
I've attached a flyer for you, and I want you to know there are so many people who love and care about you, and we're all pitching in to make this benefit the best one possible.
I love you brother! Keep an eye on us, ok? Thanks!

goodmorning mark,
even though i drive your truck every day, when i wake up in the morning i let the dog outside and i see your truck in the spot you used to park in. for a moment it's as if your up in bed still sleeping. maybe that's why i don't park there much anymore. well, okay really it's because it's easier with the kid's to park at the front of the house. :) but last night i parked in your spot and it just hurts so bad to wake up in the morning, look at that truck and know you'll never be driving it again. okay well, it's like that with everything. i miss you so much every day mark. i can't remember if i told you this before, but your son is just so cute he is just like you. he really knows how to melt my heart. he hugs me all the time and he says "guess what mom..i love you". then he gives me a kiss. the way he says it just turns me into butter. and he does this several times in a day. it's like he's saying it to me from you. almost like you came to him and said make sure you kiss your mom for me every day. well, if you did he does. the kids love being off of school. mark's looking forward to going back but pauline is not. the kid's said to tell you they love you and miss you.me too!
I LOVE YOU MARK!

so here it is a whole new year. we made it through dec., your b-day and xmas., but you are still gone, and we still miss you. Your absence seams to attack out of the blue at times and hurts. I look at your wife and can see the pain of missing you in her eyes. She is trying so hard to be brave and strong, to just get through the day only to face the same lost feeling the next day and the next. Your children, waiting for "never" to end so they can see you again. Pauline difiant because she is angry and sweet because she is lonely and misses you and doesn't really understand. Your parents are great to Carla. I don't even want to think of how much worse things would be for her without their help. I know their pain is great and I wish I could help them somehow. I really hate all this pain. I really really wish you were here to help. We all miss you and love you.

well, today starts a new year. i still can't believe your not here with us all. so very depressing that we don't have you here to start off yet another new year. all of the major holidays have snuck up so fast and it has been so very hard. i miss you so very much every day, holiday or not, it stinks and is hard just the same. i'll see you in my dreams babe.
Happy New Year.

hello mark. merry christmas. i miss you so very much. my heart breaks for you every day, more so today. always that somethings missing feeling...you! our children had a pretty good christmas as far as gifts go. wow! lots of stuff. like they really need more toys, right? i tried to leave an entry of a poem last night but once again it was not approved. i had the copyright info. on there so i don't know. it was called "Merry Christmas From Heaven" it was on a card that our pastor gave me last night at the candle light service. i'm sure you were over my shoulder reading it anyway. i can't even describe how hard it was to be without you today. i don't want to sound ungreatful to our lord but i don't want you to spend christmas with jesus. i wanted (needed) you to spend it here with our families. take it day by day is all i can do i suppose.
pauline and mark jr. say "we love you and miss you always. merry christmas daddy."
I LOVE YOU MARK!

hi mark.oh boy, what a long day. i'm sure glad it's almost bed time. i'm plum tuckered out! tomorrow's christmas eve. i don't even know what to say about that. part of me just wants to hide in bed for the next two days. i know that's not possible. so i'll just push on with that silly ol' smile on my face like usual. even though i'll be surrounded by family i'll still have that loney feeling. i can't tell you how much i hate not having you here. i don't even know how i'm doing it. i miss you, i miss everything.
I LOVE YOU MARK!

Ok Mark, Schools out for the holidays, so how about letting up on the snow and blowing. Some of us still have things to do that involve getting out and about. And you know what a coward I am. Never mind the super walmart on transit- I want one under my bed so I can shop when I need to until april when I emerge again! We miss you so much Mark. Everyone is taking a deep breath and gritting our teeth to make it through this week. Don't gotta like just gotta do it. Love ya. Lois

hello mark. wow, what a snow storm today! we got 12 inches! very windy too! lots of little branches from our weeping willow. pauline was hoping for a snow day...she got it! when school was canceled she said "thank you daddy". she was telling me that you must be becoming good friends with jesus and that's why it snowed so much, cause you asked him too make it happen for her. even though a big amount of snow is a pain for a lot of us it's nice that the kid's like it. the snow didn't bother me one bit...i got to stay in the house all day. but i do feel bad that your dad is out in the cold snow blowing our drive way. thanks mel. your parents have been very wonderful and an amazing help to me. i know that doesn't surprise you, cause they always have been. yeah so, i just went outside for a few minutes to shovel off the portch (for the third time today) and when i came in YOUR dog (hee-hee) was on the couch. i looked at him and said "hey mister, you get down from there" and for a minute he just kinda looked at me like "WHAT?" i had to yell a couple times before he got down, but he was cute! he's doen pretty good for an old dog. but he did fall down the other day when he was going down the portch steps to go potty. he was okay though, didn't break anything. he just sat there for a minute while i got my shoes on to help him up. tomorrow is the christmas party at the 3f club..we'll miss you being there. well, just like any other place we go to. also there's a family christmas party at aunt patsy and uncle lewie's house. i hope we get to make it there before any one has to leave. talk to ya later babe.
I LOVE YOU MARK!

okay, so our very last discussion,(10 minutes before you left the house that saturday)was about how i thought we might have a mouse(or mice) in the house. you asked me why i can't just set the trap myself it's not hard. no, it's not but knowing me i would probably snap my fingers in it. i told you the day i don't have you here with me is when i will take a dead mouse out of a trap. it's nasty and gross and i'd probably throw up! well today in the mud room, sure enough there was a dead mouse in the trap. my first thought was to call your dad and have him take care of it for me. but then i thought... nope, i said i would do it, so i'm gonna do it. plus i already knew your mom and dad weren't home at the time. :) but i could have left it till later when i knew he'd be home. instead, i called my sister (christine) for phone support and i took it out of the trap and wrapped it in like 20 bags and threw it away. i shock myself cause that was something i thought i would never do. but i sure as heck don't want to do it again. but you'd be proud. i'm sure you were laughing at me! and i'm sure it's gonna shock both of our moms and dads when i tell them.
I LOVE YOU MARK!

hello mark.christmas is drawing near and altough this is a very hard time, i am greatful for the 9 years of christmas memories we have shared together. december 11th was when we had started "dating" 9 years ago. i remember our 1st christmas together. we had just started seeing eachother two weeks before christmas. my 1st gift to you was a harley davidson zippo, which i had bought at american harley. i remember that i got a speeding ticket that day on my way there. i was affraid i wouldn't make it before they closed. but i did! your first gift to me was a gold chain with a dolphin inside a heart and a pair of dolphin shapped earings.(you spoiled me right from the start). well, i ended up losing one of those earings. the next year for christmas(among other things), you bought me a pair of the same dolphin earings. and again one of them fell out of my ear. but this time it was the opposite side so i did still end up with a matching pair. one earing was from our 1st christmas and one was from our second christmas. and i havn't worn them since because, i was always afraid to lose them. one christmas you bought me a pair of diamond earings. i thought you were crazy because of my track record with losing earings. but you assured me it was okay because they had screw backs. you knew me all too well...what a smart man. my christmas memories with you however, are not about the material things. it's about the sharing, caring, the love and support we gave to eachother. it's the memories of our christmas' with our children and their lit up faces. that will be the hardest part for me this year. although you will be smiling with me from above, you won't be smiling next to me. although our biggest christmas wish is that you were able to be here with us, the kids will still have the toy items they wish for. thank you to K.M.C. lew-port school and N.F. fire dept. and to family and friends. they won't go with out for sure. as for me i'm getting by with such love and support from so many people.
I LOVE YOU MARK!

Hello, It's Katie. I was just reading the guest book... all of it. I never realized how many people Uncle Mark knew. It's just amazing how many people care.(Not that I didn't expect them to) I cried tears of memories, of joy, and I cried tears of sadness because everybody does, no matter how much or how little, everybody has a place in their heart for him. I realized something just a few minutes ago. (The main reason I'm here besides the fact that I haven't written much) What I realized was that at your wedding, you said "till death do us part". There's something wrong with that. death did not do you part. You still love him just as much as you would if he were here right now staring into your eyes. Death does not bring you apart. It only makes you remember the good times, the funny times, the serious times, and the happy times. It only makes you count the days and seconds and minutes you have with the rest of your family, and the time you have left until you see him again. I love you Uncle mark, Aunt Carla, Pauline and MJ. best wishes cause I know it's hard.
P.S(Happy Birthday Uncle Mark. I'm saving you a huge slice of your imaginary birthday cake)

No words can begin to express the loss we all feel today, what should have been your 38th birthday. We were with your family, went to church and had dinner and a cake (black forest of course!) One of the best hams I've had. We miss you.

i had a thought. i remember the time when we went to frlorida. your parents dropped us off at the airport. when we went through the security check and they discovered that you had a fork in your pocket. it was so funny cause we had no idea it was left in there from when you took your luch to work and forgot about it and it was after 9/11 so they took it very seriously. they couldn't understand why you were carrying a fork in your pocket to go to the airport. they said that was concidered a weapon. you were like holy crap i thought they were gonna tackle me for that fork. your parents were still on the other side of the gate so you just gave it to them. the funny part about it was the way you told the story to our friends when we got to lake county. what a funny happy guy you were. i miss that.
another thing i was thinking about...some of you know this and some of you don't. the very first time i met mark i had said earlier we did not get exchange phone numbers(we must have known we'd see eachother again) but he did BRAID MY HAIR. how funny right. that was the very first thing about mark that impressed me. a man that could braid a girls hair...wow. and it wasn't like a sloppy loose braid. it was very neat and tight. i probably could have left the braid for a week and it would still be in tact. he probably regreted letting me know he was capable of that cause i would bug him all the time to do my hair. especially for work(when i worked in a resturaunt)and for bike rides. honey will you braid my hair for me? he would sigh and say "oh, if i have ta". but i know he really didn't mind. i will miss that a lot when my hair gets long enough to braid again.
I LOVE YOU MARK

Hi Mark,
I am writing you to tell you I miss you so much! I have your picture above the t.v. so we can all see you all the time. It hurts me so much to know you will not be here with your family for your birthday and Christmas. I hurts me so much to see Carla hurting I just want to grab ahold of her and take it all away but I know I can't. You two were so great together and it is not far that you two can't grow old together!!!We miss you so much Mark and will love you always!
