Mark Alan Gifford

Tenderhearted, kind, sweet describes Mark well. I was deeply sadden to hear of his death. Mark is my cousin and every encounter with him over the years was always with the same sweet guy. He will be missed. This world could use alot more people like Mark.

I was very sorry to learn of Mark's passing. I knew Mark from the Amvet Village and Mifflin School days. We were in several classes together. My prayers are with the family.

I worked with Mark for years and was at a loss for words when i heard that he had went home to be the angels. He was a good friend to me and i looked up to him always. I will forever miss his smiling face.

Mark and I were first cousins, and among our many, many cousins, Mark was one of everyone's favorites. He was an intelligent man, with simple wants, and a good, good heart.

I remember one moment in particular -- many years ago at our Grandfather's funeral when everybody was visiting and catching up and Mark and I were talking, he stopped for a moment and looked very thoughtful and said "You know, I'm really going to miss the old boy." And that's exactly how I felt but couldn't...

We were so sorry to hear about Mark. I don't know if you remember us or not, but we were neighbors in the Amvet Village many years ago. We lived on Vendome Dr. Please know that your familly is in our prayers.

We became friends in elementary school, we co-starred in our senior play, we both went marching off to war. Mark and I would fill a room with laughter whenever we were together.After you Mr. Gifford, no after you Mr Van Dyne,No, No after you Mr. Gifford.This time he went first.
If you didn't love Mark you didn't know Mark.

Mark and I graduated from Mifflin High School together and I remember him as so quiet but very sweet with a clever sense of humor. I saw him again at one of our class reunions and he was the same, just quieter. I mourn with his family that I won't see him again in this life. My heart-felt sympathy to all who loved him.
