I was looking for people I hung out with in High School. Mark and I hung out quite a bit. We lost touch after high school but I remembered him from time to time. We had quite a bit in common. Carrie Kiel was one of our common friends and I remember our late Friday nights hanging out at his house listening to music and just talking about our futures. I'm sorry he's gone and knowing 13 years later saddens me, but memories still live on. I hope his family continues to find peace. Prayers to the almighty for the family. God Bless.

Mike has gone to heaven on March 18th 2019. I know you are all together up there. You are up there building something and planting lots of flowers.
Do not like being here in this big house by myself but I will stay here, lots of wonderful memories here.
Harry & Jim are doing ok, Harry is on some new medicine and really hope it helps his pain and Jim's doing some traveling with is job. Brandon is just finishing his 3rd year of collage and working and Ethan is going to be in the 11th grade in the fall and will also start is first year of collage.
I still have your house and its rented and looks nice. Had to put a new heater in it and a new hot water tank
and painted it all inside. looks great.
I love you and miss you lots, and tell Mike I miss him so much and love him lots to.

Happy Birthday Mark,
Today you would have been 52 years old. We sent you balloons to you up in heaven and we put 2 balloons on your red maple tree and put flowers under the tree for you.
We still miss you so much, I think about you every day.
I think we will be going to Seaside this month to see the couple that lives there, they have been there almost 2 years now.
We put new carpet in there for them and bought a new refreg, for them and a new vanity and toilet. Now I want to go and see how nice it looks.
Mike has been very ill this year and things are hard for him to do, but Harry and Jim and Brandon and Ethan help, which we are so thankful for.
6I will be 75 in a few months, how I got so old so fast, I have a hard time doing somethings now and I get so tired so fast.
But we just keep on trucking and do the best we can.
You will have been gone 3 years next month (April) and we have not got over your loss, but I keep talking to you and yes I shed a lot of tears still.
Have to go for now
All our love Mark

Hi Mark,
Today you have been gone from us for 2 years. We miss you so much. This is still so very hard for me. We put flowers on your red tree and some balloons on the tree to. We have some more balloons to send to you in heaven, but the weather, rain, they will be a day late,. We are getting the pool fixed, new liner and new safety cover, I think this is the last time will spend money like this, but the boys will use it for a few more years.
I am going to close for now and will write soon. Mike is ok, waiting to get his hip fixed. Harry called today to say hi, Jim is ok for now.
We miss you so much Mark, love to you always.

Today is your 51st Birthday and we have been thinking about you all day, but we do that everyday. You are loved and missed so much by your family.
I just wrote this long note to you and I lost it all. So I will try again.
Jo called this morning to share birthday wishes to you and to Cory. It is his birthday also today. She lit a candle for both of you today. Harry called today to see how we were doing. Jim is doing good, hes trying to keep up with the boys and wow they sure are going. Brandon will be 17 soon and Ethan will be 11 in August.
I had a dream last week about you. You asked me to come and visit your new home to help you put your things away and we had long talks and had such a wonderful time. When I woke up I was so happy to see you laughing and smiling with me. You seamed so happy. It meant a lot to me Mark.
I love you and miss you so much
Have to go to bed now so I will write again soon.
Love to you from your family always

I hold many memories of Mark growing up near the SeaTac airport. Babysitting him from about 4 years old. JP Patches, chicken noodle soup, ice cream sandwiches, lots of summer fun. And I will never forget the stitches when he tipped back in the chair and hit the corner of the cupboard. I loved all the boys. We kind of grew up together, didn't we. Fast forward many years. Yes, it was great to see the grown up Mark at a wedding. He made me promise not to tell any childhood stories. ;)
Great picture of Mark

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
Our hearts still ache in sadness,
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know...
We love and miss you so much Mark.
