Not sure what to say?

Uncle Mark,
Wish i could have been closer to you hard to believe you are gone..but to a better place with Grandma. you will always be remembered by me as (Big Daddy) i will never forget our crazy ride we took to Subway when you thought i was going to hit the pole and your words were can you see at night girl haha, I will miss not being able to see you when we come to Florida but it is okay cuz you are in a much better place than Florida but i know you are looking down on us and watching...

Mark,
Hard to find the words it was way to early and you were way to young to leave. but now in a better place. So many years i have known you just didn't get to see you often you were always a fun person to be around always joking, looking back through some pictures of several trips to the beach when me and Donna came down you went with us always enjoyed the time being around you will miss that time in the future it just won't be the same without you when we come for a visit but know...

Donna and Gaskins Family,You have always made me feel like a part of your family. Last year I had the pleasure of spending time with Mark while vacationing in Florida we had a great time he made me feel so welcome and it saddens me so that he was taken so soon. He will always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sudden tragedy, may god bless each and every one of you.

Its so hard knowing I won't see you walk in my back door or drive up on the tractor ever again. We had grown alot closer than we ever had been and it just hurts to know I didn't get to say goodbye. Although I miss you deeply each day, I find comfort in knowing you are in a better place now with God. Until I see you again (and I know in my heart I will) I hold onto the memories we shared and made with each other. I love you and will never forget you.
Your sister,
Big'en

Dear Baby Brother,
I am so glad I got to see you at Thanksgiving but my heart breaks that I will never be able to talk to you or see you, but I know in my heart that I will see you and Momma again.
I think GOD needed another angel so he picked you and that makes it easier for me knowing that you are with our Savior GOD ALMIGHTY.
You are very much missed by everyone and touched alot of lives the short time you were here.
You were always my baby, I can still remember holding you in...

Donna and Family: I am very sorry for the loss of your family member, I did not know Mark but the sadness I see in Donna makes me very sad. I know how much her family means to her. She loves each and every one of them. Marks death was hard for her, but knowing they will be together again soon I think helps her deal with it. Death is never easy but we will all have to go through it. Knowing we will be together again makes it easier, I think.

Donna....wow, I wonder just how much a family has to go through in such a short time! my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Call me any time and I Love you all!

Donna and Family
I am truely sorry for your loss and you and your family arre in my thoughts and prayers.This life is but a Journey and we only pass through it once may we love deeply forgive quickly laugh often and tell the ones we love just how you feel for life is to short to worry about what we cannot change.
God Bless You
