Dear Mark,

I cannot believe that yesterday was 20 years since you left us.

Your mother and I miss you all the time. We have your pictures everywhere in the house and in the backyard.

I look forward to seeing you again some day.

Dear Son,

Your mother and I took the day off work and normal routine things to be able to think about you on your birthday.

We spent the day decorating the house for Christmas. We have the handprints that you made in school hanging in our kitchen.

It is sad to be without you here. I know we will see you again sometime, but I wish you could be with us now.

Love,

Dad

Well, Mark, yesterday was 19 years ago that you left us. Your mom, Pipa, and I all said it does not seem like 19 years.

I miss you. We all do.

We will be together again some day.

Hey sweetie! I don´t like to write in here because it seems odd to me but this year has been an extremely difficult year for your daddy. We miss you very much. I am so happy that you have Nana there with you. You always had a special connection with her. Give her a hug from us. Lately I have been looking for signs of you being around but I haven´t seen any. Your sisters could use your guidance and help. I love you so much and terribly miss you. Mommy.

Dear Son,

As I was thinking of the past 18 years since you left this Earth, I was struck by how many family members how followed you since then. Most recently, your Nana has followed you.

I miss you dearly every day. I wish that I could have you hear with me, but I know that I have to wait until my turn comes and I join you, too.

Love,
Dad

Hi Mark,

Yesterday you turned 25! We certainly thought about you all day. I know that you are in Heaven with no disabilities and in perfect peace and joy. Still, I miss you here.

We were awakened the morning of your birthday with a tornado warning. I told your mother that you were letting us know that it was your birthday!

Our lives have been changed forever. We still think about you all of the time.

Your mother and I spent the day together, thinking of you.

We miss you terribly, but we are comforted to know that you are with Jesus, and no longer have the disabilities that you had since birth.

Love,

Hi Mark,

My names Krystian and Ive heard a lot about you through your parents and your sister Tabitha. Your family really misses you and they think about you all the time. I love how much you like dolphins, they are a really elegant creature, and Im sure you are a beautiful and bright young man now. I may have never of met you in person but with all the stories Ive heard I almost feel like I know you. You are dearly missed but knowing you are in a better place warms the hearts of others more.

Marky:

Yesterday has been 7 years you have been gone. Although, I thought of you all day....not one day goes by that you are not in my thoughts. Sweetie time has been my enemy, I find the simplest thoughts are slipping away, your touch, your smile, your laugh. I am heartbroken as time continues on but the pain is still there. Yesterday, was a day of thought but everyday is hard. I miss you terribly and love you.

Love,
Mommy

Happy Birthday, son!

It is hard to believe that you turned 15 today. What a little peanut you were when we first met you 15 years ago!

You grew up so big, only to leave us five years ago.

We miss you and think of you all of the time.

Mark,

Yesterday, you turned 14. I wish we could have seen you as a teenager. You were already so big when you were going on 10, so I imagine you would really be a big kid now if you had stayed with us.

You were very much in our thoughts on your birthday. Happy Birthday, son!

Love,
Daddy

Can it be four years ago that you left this earth? We still miss you and think about you all the time.

What an inspiration you have been for us! Four years after your passing, people are still talking about you and the things they remember about you.

I miss you and look forward to seeing you again one day.

Mark,

Happy Birthday, son!

Today is your thirteenth birthday. We spoke about you to our friends at church today. Tabitha told several people, "Today is Mark's birthday."

Our family misses you and speaks of you often.

I know that heaven is wonderful beyond imagination and that you are so very happy there. Still, we miss you here.

Happy Birthday,
Daddy

Gina, Glen, and family,
I just want to share with you how Mark's legacy is helping others. When teaching a group of teachers recently, I shared about Marky learning to use his communication device in the classroom. I had tried out a different teaching method, and he had done so well! I shared with them his love of "dip" and how he learned to request it. He continues to teach others and have a positive effect that will in turn make learning easier and better for other children. Marky was a wonderful boy who taught me so much as a teacher and I think of him often. He is an angel who is with us always. I will always love Marky.
God bless you all.

Mark,

Yesterday was your 12th birthday. Mommy and I and the rest of your family thought about you all day. Mommy and I visited your grave during the day. Your brother and sisters and Mommy and I had an ice cream party in your honor that evening. We still miss you very much and always will. Matthew, Rachel, and Tabitha are growing up. They still talk about your all of the time.

Tabitha wants to know when Jesus will make your body come to life again in the resurrection. She wants to play with you again.

I hope God allowed you to see the decorations on your grave. I know that every day in Heaven is great and that you had a wonderful birthday.

Love,
Daddy

Words can't express how devastated we are at the loss of Mark. He was such a wonderful child. We all loved him so much at Gwin Oaks, his former school. Mark helped define us--who we are and what we do. He was always there for us. His smile, his "jazz" hands wave when he was excited about something. His stomp and insistent stare to let us know he was "finished"! We could always count on Mark to carry the "box" of supplies to lunch, and to wait for us at the corner of the hall, patiently rocking back and forth and looking for us, leaning against the wall when we were too slow. Letting us know circle time was "boring..." when he would conk out asleep in 2 seconds! Mark loved those persons who were close to him--his family, his teachers, and his classroom friends.

The Lord made Mark for a wonderful purpose. He knit him and knew that he would have such a positive influence on everyone who knew him. Now he is home with Christ, his sister Rebecca, and watching us all with that precious smile and those waving hands.

I share in your tears...and hope you too find comfort in the wonderful memories we have of Mark.

Dearest Gina and Glenn,

Dom, Ali and I were deeply saddened to hear of Mark's death. Even though he was only nine years old, his curiosity and sense of adventure will be remembered by all of us who knew him. He was always ready for one more door to open, just so he could see what was on the other side. Our thoughts and prayers are with both of you and your family during this sad time. We send our love and deepest sympathy.

Nan, Dom and Ali

Dearest Mark, We know you are at home with Jesus. We are trying to be happy for you. You are free of the limitations you endured on earth & relieved of the pain & suffering of your last days here. We believe you are in perfect bliss Mark. But, we miss you. Right now, it doesn't feel like enough that we will see you again someday. It doesn't take away the huge lump in our throats, the sting of our tears, or the hollow aching pit in our stomachs. But we'll try to look forward to that day when our souls will all be together in heaven. Your life has touched so many people, and for now, we'll try to get through each day by remembering the legacy you've left behind. Mari & I are praying for your family. Most tender blessings, Chris Logan & family.
