Mark I am so happy that I got to know you. You were always so happy and telling jokes. You had everyone smiling when you were around. I will miss you but don't worry about Bettysue because before I met you, she was my soulsister! So, I promise Francis and I will keep on eye on your girl. Love you <3

Mark Everything everyone has said so far I just add "ditto" to - I know you're not "dead" just on another part of your journey. However we all will so miss you physically being here on earth. Love and blessings to you and yours, Karen

I will miss Mark, and the way he made me laugh. One of my favorites was Mark doing the "Sanford & Son's" theme, every time he seen a truck rolling down the road, piled with junk. He was way too young to leave us. I will miss my friend.

Mark, I know it was a long time since we saw you and Bettysue, but that doesn't mean we were not thinking of you both. You were such a great guy and always funny. Tim and I remember all the good times with you and Weebles. Can't believe you were taking to heaven so soon but god must have had a plan for you. We know you loved Bettysue so much! She is your world. God bless her to have the strength to carry on and for you to always watch over her. You will sorely be missed by everyone that knew you. God Bless you Mark and rest in piece. Thinking of you always. XOXO

Mark will be missed by everyone on the street, he was a great man who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He was taken way to young but he is now with our father in heaven shining down on all of his family and friends.

Uncle Mark, It was truly a blessing to have you in my life. You loved all your nieces and nephews as if they were your children. I am so grateful we got to spend time together in Florida. Take good care of my dad for me. With all my love Jo and Jason

My neighbor, my friend. I will miss your smile and your warmth. I will also never forget the love and pride you had for Bettysue the very first time I met you and you could not wait for me to meet her. You were right, she is genuine.... and so were you my dear friend. We will ALL MISS your hugs and smiles.
Be at peace... Kathie Cuomo

Honey, I still can't believe how suddenly and unexpectedly you were taken from my life at such a young age(51). You are the funniest person I have ever met and I have never been loved so deeply. I miss you so much. My life will never be the same without you.....
