Dr. Mark Daniel Stephens

Never a day goes by that there is not a reminder of Mark. There are continually " first times" without him, birthdays, football games, special days with Natalie, Rachel, Sarah and Hannah. A big part of our family is missing. We miss him so.

Mom & Dad

Rachel, Hannah, Sarah, and Mrs. Natalie, My deepest sympathy goes out to you guys,you are a great family, and Br. Mark will be dearly missed..he was the best pastor I ever had. He was condidering and caring, and I always wished he could have done my wedding as wonderfully as he did My aunt and Uncle Jimmy and Jessica Mckinney..but he is missed

Love,

To the Stephens Family:

I met Brother Mark, Natalie, Rachel, Sarah and Hannah during his pastorship at Lockhart Baptist Church. I don't have to tell you what a wonderful servant of God he was...you who were closest to him already know. I can tell you that his teaching and presence had a lasting impact upon my heart and life. Ben, Jeff and I grew to love him as our pastor and as our brother in Christ. Our prayers are with you in this time of profound grief.

Natalie and family, My deepest sympathies to your family. You probably do not know me because the last time I seen Mark was when he and I were participants in Grant Bowlus' wedding nearly 20 years ago. He will be missed.

Dave & Margaret,

I never knew your son Mark, but I was deeply touched by reading these guest book entries about him. Just four months ago, my wife and I lost our healthy newborn son, and I personally have been comforted and encouraged by the words that Mark's friends have written to comfort and encourage you.

May the LORD Jesus continue to give you strength to make it through each day.

"Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." 2...

To Natalie and the Girls, Mr. and Mrs. Stevens and Jon,
We are so very sorry for you in the loss of Mark - you are in our prayers. We are grateful that he is safe in our Heavenly Father's arms and that we will not be separated forever. It has been such a blessing to see how God has used Mark and his family to bring others to Christ. Well done, Mark, you have been a good and faithful servant.
