Dear Mary,Mark and Meagan
My girls and I would like you too know you are in our thoughts and prayers. I have to say "after todays service, I am not so angry at god". "Only AT ALL THE EVIL that surrounds us". I never looked at it like this. I was only trying to place blame.

It is with a heavy heart that I send my deepest sympathy to you all. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet your boy through my nephew Lee St. Hilaire. He was a source of strength and pride for us all. He was a great friend to Lee and has been so kind to us since his death. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. He was an exceptional young man.

To the entire Stetson family,
I could never even begin to imagine what you are experiencing at this time. Mark was an amazing person who left and imprint on everyones heart and lives. Including mine. We attended High School together and I cheerleaded for him for almost 4 years. Mark always reminded me of a big teddy bear. He was always smiling and giving everyone hugs. He was an amazing person, on the field as well as off. He will truley be missed and will forever leave a piece of himself in our hearts. I hope during this time you are comforted with good thoughts and love from all of those who loved Mark. He is in a better place now looking down on all of us & smiling.

I was very lucky to have the opportunity to know Mark. We shared similar passions on the field as well as off. His influences made me a better player and more importantly the man I consider myself today. Words can not express my sympathy for your loss. Please accept my deepest apologies. The world is a lesser place with out him.
Sincerely,
