Mark K. Tripp

I´ve been thinking about Mark on the anniversary of his death. He was faithful about keeping in touch by phone for years after I had been his teacher. He always talked about his family and asked about my girls as well as other teachers. What a gentle, caring man he was.

Oh goodness. I am so very sorry for your loss. Mark was always a friendly, happy face at our Central Methodist family. May God gently carry you through this very sad time.

To Marks Family.... I am sorry to hear of Marks passing, He was a very kind, sweet soul! I am truly sorry for your loss!

I am sorry to read of this loss. God bless you all in this difficult time.

Dear Janet and family, My deepest sympathy to all of you. Over the past few years, Mark and I become good friends through our visits on the phone. We always talked about our animals, eating out and coffee! He always cared about other people and always made sure he asked how my mom and dad were doing. RIP Mark and thank you for you friendship!

So sorry to come across this in the news this morning. Mark and I were friends in Sunday school as kids. I didn't know he was any 'different' and always treated him like an equal.
(Of course that meant we got in a little trouble together now and then, but that was my fault and took him along for the fun, like when we rung the bell in the steeple during services one time.)
I know it was a long time ago, but I remember him fondly. So sorry for your loss. I know his kind spirit...

Dear Mrs. Tripp & family-

I was shocked to read today of Marks' passing. I rarely get the paper and only on Sundays.

I hope he didn't suffer and I am very sorry I missed the wake.

Prayers for his soul are being said. Great reunion with his Dad in Heaven!

Mark would always come into the high school and visit. He volunteered his time working at the concession stand and always greeted everyone with a big smile and warm heart. He will be truly missed.
