Mark Karaskiewicz

Why hasn't it gotten easier? It hurts just like that same Wednesday afternoon. Please let me wake up now and PLEASE let everything be alright. Let my little family be whole again because I'd honestly give up anything. I am so sad. And I just don't understand.

My Uncle Mark was the sweetest honest man in my family besides my Grandfather who had a stroke and couldn't speak at the time anyways. I moved away from chicago when I was young but I will always remember his smile and that for some reason I always liked bringing him a beer while he watched sports at my Grandparents house. You are loved and will always be missed my dearest Uncle Mark. I know the the Karaskiewicz's will continue to be strong and we will all hold you in our hearts.

It was as if when this day came along, it could be the one day out of the year that we could show you how much we appreciate you. You never wanted anything but we always tried to make you happy on this day. I always always made you a cake. I'm sorry I never found the perfect chocolate cherry cake recipe, I thought I still had time. But time just cheats you now doesn't it? Well at least you always knew you could depend on getting another shirt. Happy Birthday Daddy! I REALLY miss you,...

My Dad didn't have a biological father figure in his life and
it hurt him a lot but he had his mom's brother, Uncle
Father. He was like a Father to my Dad. Uncle Father has
just passed away but I know he is now with my Dad and
my Dad is probably so happy that they're together now.
My Dad lived a wonderful life, full of genuine love and
care. He has taught me values that no one else will ever be
able to, which I will pass on down to my children....

Dear Lil, Paul, Tim, Mike, Guadalupe and children.
I was so deeply saddened to hear about Mark. I remember holding him when I was 5 years old. He was always so loving and sweet. In time, may your wonderful memories of Mark replace the sadness you are feeling today. I only wish we had stayed in touch.
How wonderful that he got married and had such a big family. I know he was a wonderful husband and father.
It will be very hard for you, but you have each other. Cling...

I extend my sympathy to my son's family. He is my youngest son of four sons and I will miss him very much. I have many wonderful memories of him as a child. I have always loved him a great deal and that will never change.

Dear Lupe and rest of the Karaskiewicz family. I would like to express my greatest sympathy to you and your family. May God be with you in this difficult time.
