Mark A. Douglass

Mark, thinking about you with the incredible Northern Lights we have had. Of course, I couldn’t see them because of light pollutionbut I remembered the year you called from wilmar so excited because you could see them from there. Miss you, son. 22 years. You are in my heart and often in my dreams. Love and hugs. Mom

Just thinking about you.

Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me....

What amazes me and most of all brings me a smile is knowing that there are people who knew Mark and still remember him. Its been eighteen years and friends have moved on, life has happened and still there are memories of him. Of course I and family remember him, but when friends remember him with stories about him, it just means so much to me. He is still alive in our hearts. Thank you for remembering. Mark's Mom

As time has passed without Mark to turn to for sage advice, I continually feel his presence in my life. I have very fond memories of Mark and cherish the short time we had together. One of my favorite memories of him was when I walked into his bedroom to ask him about a book we were both reading for a class we had together. When I asked him about a particular passage, he told me the exact page and where the reading was on the page. I picked up the book, turned to the page, and the passage...

Does time lapse in heaven?
I can not believe it's been 10 years! A decade!
I've done much but I've done little. I've done so little but I've done so much.
I can say that there has not been a day that I haven't had something to remind me of you in all this time. The swim trail still scares me on a stormy night. I'm going to Silver Falls this summer to see you. After years of you carrying me that's where I carried you- I will never forget either. Thank you for the friendship...

hello Mark,

I was here on legacy.com and thought I'd stop in to see your book since I was in the neighborhood. I went to a funeral today for my best friend growing up and he has a legacy page now too. It's been several years since I've seen or talked to him, which of course brings up some serious regrets but I suppose I know what you'd say about that. Keep an eye out for him, he's had a tough run of it these past few years. He's a lot like you, and likes to fish, so I'm sure...
