Not sure what to say?

Tami, Rich, Andy, Dana & families, Aunt Helen, Doug, Phil, Heidi & families:
You have my deepest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. What an awesome service today celebrating Mark’s life. He will be missed but you have so many wonderful memories that you can treasure in the days and years ahead. I have no doubt that as his grandchildren grow up you will make sure they know what a wonderful grandfather they have.
Love,
Your Cousin,
Doris (Kraayenbrink) Scholten

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Tami and Family,
Just praying you feel the comfort of our God's loving arms at your time of loss. The celebration of life service was such a fantastic tribute to Mark and who he is and his influence on all the many people whose lives he touched! Also, an encouragement for others to make Jesus Lord of their lives too!
I remember the camping trips and cliff diving among other times being much fun! (Jeff just said camping along the banks of the Illinois River......LOL

Dear Tami, Aunt Helen and all the family. We are so sorry for your loss. We pray that you will feel the love and comfort that only God can give.

Our heartfelt condolences to the Mark Mulder family. It was an honor to work with and get to know Mark. Prayers for strength and peace.

Tami and family, siblings and Aunt Helen, We do not know what the future holds for each of us but thankfully we can know Who holds that future. We rejoice with you that Mark also knew that comfort. We pray that all of you will experience the peace of God that passes our human understanding in these tough days and months to come and that your ability to share your great memories of Mark will give you comfort at this time. In our thoughts and prayers..........

Oh Tami! You, your kids and grandchildren, along with both the Mulder and Dykstra families and all who loved him have been in our prayers since we heard about Mark's accident. We were so shocked and deeply saddened. Even as I read the obituary, I can't believe it. I promise to pray for each of you asking God to supply all that you need and give peace and assurance to you in abundance. "The Lord has comforted His people, and will have compassion upon them in their sorrow. Isaiah 49:13

Dear Tami and Family, my sincerest condolences to you all. My heart goes out to all of you. Andy, what else can I say, but that God WILL console and comfort you every moment you need Him. Mark is in the presence of Jesus Christ and heaven is brighter now.

Tammy and family, we are so saddened to hear of your loss. May the peace of Christ surround you during this time and give you strength.
