I am very sorry for your loss. Mark was a blessing to me because when my mother died God gave me the unexpected gift of a beautiful son from Mark. God bless you and may He help you get through this tough time. May it comfort you to know that Mark is now with God.

Dear Lillian & family:
Death is always one of the toughest things to deal with. Eventhough people say alot of things to try to help sometimes I think that there are things that are easier said then done. I don't think I ever met Mark during the time I've been going to Triumphant Life....but hearing about anybody dying is always a sad thing. Lillian I hope that you & Don are able to hold onto all of the wonderful memories you have of him & all the times you spent together. I also hope that eventhough I couldn't be there in person to give you hugs that you can feel me giving them to you.

To the Griffin family,
I express my deepest condolences at the loss of Mark. We all grew up on Lincoln Street--we laughed together, fought with each other at times, drank together, laughed again,--and I feel like I lost someone close to me---someone who I grew up with. It sounds like Mark found his faith and hope and pray that that faith brings him into heaven. I work on the Cape now and am unable to make the wake and funeral, yet please know again my prayers are with you; and to Mark, may the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face, and may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
