Mark, we are all still shaken to the core by your absence. I thought of you a lot last weekend while working on our house. It reminded me of all the times we worked side by side doing the work on the cabin. You always made me laugh. I miss that fun and laughter you and I shared. I miss seeing you with my boys, you were so wonderful to them. They miss you dearly, and will remember you forever. Thank you for all the love and laughter you brought to our lives. You are forever loved and will always be in our hearts.

Sweetheart. Today is the one year anniversary of your passing. I cannot believe it has already been a year. You were so full of life and had so much love to give. Your loss was a pure shock to all of us. I still remember that day as if it happened yesterday. I think about all the things you missed and all the things you will continue to miss. Sometimes I wonder how I even made it through this last year. Some days were definitely harder than others. I am so lucky to have known your love. You loved me so unconditionally. I hope you knew how much you were loved and that I will always love and miss you.
Love You Always,
Cheryl

It's been a year today, since my heart was broken. I can't believe I made it through the year, but it was with help from family and friends. " Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again."
I love you Mark, and miss you terribly.

It has been 11 months since I lost you. I still miss you so much and would still do anything if I could bring you back. This 11 months has gone by so quickly, even thought the sometimes the pain is as you left me yesterday. I still think of you every day. Sometimes I see someone do something that reminds me of you. Other times I wonder what you would say if you were here. I think about all the things you and I would have done together but that I didn't do on my own. You left such a big hole in all of our hearts. I still love you so very much.

Merry Christmas Sweetheart. I miss you so much today because Christmas is my favorite holiday and for as long as I can remember, we always managed to find some way to exchange gifts or to talk to each other or more recently spend Christmas with each other. I miss that most about today, knowing that you aren't going to come over with a present or two in tow for me and the girls and knowing that I won't get to spend time with you. I was looking forward to all the Christmas' that we were suppose to share to together as husband and wife. I got only a little taste of that last Christmas and it was the best Christmas I ever had. I love you with all of my heart and I still miss you more than anything.

Sweetheart. I wish I could have wrote this yesterday, as it has been 7 months since I lost you, my best friend and the person I was suppose to spend the rest of my life with. I wish I had a place that I could go and write to you every day so that it would almost seem as if I was talking to you. I really miss having you here to talk to all the time. I still miss you so much and that pain of that doesn't ever go away. My heart still aches for you and I still love you more than anything.
Love Cheryl

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart. I love you and miss you very much. Your absense has left a huge whole in my heart. I feel so lost without you, especially on days like today. I wonder what we would have done today to celebrate your birthday. You and I were always out and about doing something and I really miss that. Our favorite thing was camping, even if it was only down the road a few miles. I hate that I can't go whenever I want too because I cannot hook up the trailer by myself. It pains to me think about it. I wish you were here with me and the girls. We all miss you. Happy Birthday again, and I love you with all of my heart.
Love,
Cheryl

Mark, it has been 6 months since you left us and we still can't believe it. I miss your calls to talk about how the Blue Jays are doing, about the great movie you saw at midnight. Your birthday is just a few days away and we are getting ready to have a Star Wars movie marathon party in your honor, the 1st annual Mark Welsh all night Star Wars movie party. Wish you were here with us. I love you brother.

June 24, 2010
Dear Mark, I went to bed, but couldn't sleep. I was thinking about you, thinking about the wedding you didn't have, thinking about the camping trips we had with you, Cheryl and the girls, thinking about you growing up, thinking about the day you brought Bentley home to me, and thinking about the day you left us, and it hurts. I have been searching for answers, but cannot find any. I miss you Mark. Life will never be the same, and there will always be a hole in my heart.
Love,
Mom

Today would have been our wedding day. I am so sad knowing that our perfect day and the day that we waited for, for what seems like forever, will never happen. You are the love of my life and you always will be. I knew we were soulmates from the moment I met you. And while we couldn't always be together, I knew that you still cared for me and I hope you know that I cared and thought about you too. I have never known a love as deep and as true as your. I miss you Sweetheart and you will always be in my heart. I love you.

My dearest Mark,I still can't believe you left us, and I don't think I will ever understand why. I miss you so much, it hurts. This Saturday would have been your wedding day, and I was so looking forward to seeing you and Cheryl together at this very special occasion. I always knew she was the love of your life, and I can see how much she loves you too. Even though you were not lawfully married, I will always consider Cheryl as your wife and my daughter-in-law. I love you Mark

Sweetheart, I cannot express the sadness and loneliness I felt the day I lost you. We had such a beautiful wedding planned and we were riding high on life. I miss you every second of every day and I love you just as much as I did the first day I met you. You were the light in my life and you made me the happest person ever. I am sorry that you never saw our wedding day, but I still changed my name in your honor. I know we will be together again someday. Please look over us. With all of my love.

It's been four weeks, and Mark's loss still is as deep as day one. We are still so in shock. Mark was a wonderful uncle to our boys, and a wonderful brother and friend to us. How could life throw him this horrible twist of fate. Only three months from his wedding, never had he been happier or looking more towards his future. He left behind a lot of broken hearts.

Mark's leadership qualities and ability to work with others was one of his best qualities. His time in Troop 107 was a great benefit to all. He helped mold the direction and accomplishments of numerous future leaders. He will be missed . Our prayers are with him and his family.

Mark was a great guy. All who knew him through scouts will always remember his antics and all the fun times he was instrumental in creating. Including the “red hair monster” on the Argus. More he will be remembered as a great leader for all the young men in troop that he mentored and all the young men he mentored through his work with buckskin. Rest in Peace Mark
