Mark J. Bolwell

Mark was so gifted and in the year he was with us at Winterville Christian Church, I grew to love him and his music. His heart was as beautiful as his music. We will miss him.

John and I will be out of town and will not be able to attend the Memorial Service. Our condolences to the family, especially to his daughter Christine. Our children knew her through theater at Rose High.

Mark was a wonderful presence in our church and will be greatly missed. I adored his talent and his love of our church. He was always willing to share his love of music with us and he blessed us with his gifts. I will always love him.

I was a choir member under Mark's leadership for several years at St. Peter's Catholic Church. I found him to be such a patient and compassionate person. He had a real love for sacred music and making a joyful noise. I am sure he is playing wonderful organ music right now in heaven! To his family, God Bless you as you move through the grieving process.

Mark was very helpful to me in my early years as assistant organist of St. Robert Bellarmine Chruch. In fact, I still have some of the original manuscript copies from the Mass that he wrote while serving there. He will be remembered as a good, friendly Christian Musician. My prayers are with his family and for the repose of his soul.
