In loving memory of Mark, four years ago today you were taken from us all. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. I wish Heaven took appointments Mark.

Love you and miss you dearly.

In loving memory of our angel "Mark" you will never be forgotten.

Three years ago today you were tragically taken from us. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye. You will always be in our hearts and prayers.

Sometimes a short walk down memory lane is all it takes to appreciate where we are today.

The memory of a good person is a blessing.
Proverbs 10:7

The tears in my eyes I can wipe away but the ache in my heart will always stay.

Remembering you on this day and every other day as well, comforted by so many wonderful memories.

Love

Arlene,Bob and family;

Not a day ever goes by that I do not think of you all for what you live with each and every day and especially now.

There are no words sufficient; no gesture majestic enough to empathize with your pain and sorrow.

Mark truly was a rare human being "always looking out for the well being of others". He gave so much of himself to others without ever asking for anything in return. He truly left a legacy behind on this earth, when he was taken from us all.

If we can, let's all rejoice in the magic moments Mark brought to all our lives thanks to his existence.

Let us all appreciate how special we all are to each other in the grand scope of things on this plane of existence we'll never truly understand.

You all have the support of family, friends and strangers who you may not even know. We all feel your pain and sorrow.

I truly, hope as time does goes by it will heal all your hearts.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all, each and every day.

God Bless.

Please know that you remain in people's thoughts and prayers, those of people who know you and people like myself who do not, but who yours and Mark's stories have deeply touched. I hope you can find comfort knowing that Mark is at peace, that he is remembered, and that you will all be together again one day. God bless you all.

My heartfelt sympathies to the Mariani family during this most difficult time. The loss of Mark will never make sense but I pray you can take some solace in knowing that Mark is in a much better place. A place that has no violence or anger, a place where he is not sick or in pain, a place where his “broken wing” is like brand new, a place where he can watch over us all and make us smile at the very thought of him. I feel blessed having known Mark. May he rest in peace.

Dear Mariani Family:
I don't know you but all of you are in my thoughts and prayers, as I know you are in those of so many Calgarians who, like me, are so saddened by the senseless death of Mark. I wanted for you to know that I am thinking of you today as you say good-bye and will continue to remember you, and Mark, in the future. I read an article in the Herald yesterday about Arlene's concern that Mark's death might be seen as ‘just one more,’ or something along those lines. Reading that prompted me to write here. Please know that people, friends and strangers alike, do NOT think that. We know Mark was a son, brother, uncle and friend and not just another statistic. I am truly sorry for your loss.

My Dear Mariani family,

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel. My thoughts are with you at this time. This is so surreal . Mark was one of the kindest, wisest, most thoughtful people I’ve ever known. I’ll never forget that time, when my Dad and I got to work late at Bertino’s and I was so worried that we wouldn’t get the place all cleaned up and ready to go before it opened. Mark happen to come in that morning. Mark told my Dad and I slow down calm down and he helped us with the situation. Witch today I still carry that lesson with me. Mark was so caring . Very respectful always calling my Mom and Dad, Mr. and Mrs. Petrollini, and me sweetheart. He was a wonderful man. We are thinking of you during this difficult time. My Mariani family cause that's what you were to me "my family" as I was growing up. May the peace which comes from the memories of Mark, comfort you now and in the days ahead.

I may not see you often but know this that I love each and everyone of you very much.
