Dear Mr. Evans,
I could never thank you enough for bringing Channon into this world. She is my guiding star and everything I could have ever hope and dreamed for. I've heard countless stories, and seen what seems like an endless amount of photos of you. I've wiped away tears from her face when she tells me things about you. I have never seen so much strength in a single person in my entire life.
I know she is more sad than she let's show, but I want you to know that I am here for her, forever. I will protect her until the end of my days. I could never let her go. And I also want you to know that I owe everything to you for giving her to me. she is so beautiful and strong. She has the biggest heart in the entire world and its all because of you.
It's impossible to come up with the right words to show how much I appreciate you...
We will visit you. I promise.

I can't believe it has been 8 years....the sadness is still overwhelming. The pain is still there. We all miss you so. The world lost a devoted father, a dear son, a strong brother and a special friend. Those things are greatly missed and today is no different. Will remember you all day, just like every other. Love you MARK!

It's getting to be that time of the year again. The holidays are always tough. Not having you here with the family makes it bittersweet. We will laugh about the good times and toast a drink to you, but it's still not the same. You were such an important part of this family, a great strength that is missing. That smile that kept us guessing, always, we will miss again this holiday season!! love you and miss you forever!! Diana

I can't believe it has been 7 years since you have been gone. You are not here to make us smile and laugh. You are not here to take care of us. We miss you everyday. Your girls are growing so fast and they really need their Dad to love them and hold them close. Not a day goes by without thinking of you. You will always be a part of our everyday life and in our hearts forever. We miss you so...

And so it is – five years now, away from you, away from us...On this day we all struggled so to say goodbye to our Forever Valentine. But I believe “Love is something eternal…the aspect may change, but not the essence.” The essence remains…though nothing is the same. In my silent awakening from the deluge of dreams, I am still caught in the crossfire of reality. You were the calm, you were the storm, you were the beacon when I had none – all is undone. You were my island in a moving sea. Now you are the sea in all that surrounds me…
You my sweetest song
Written in the sand of time
Sing to me always
In these last years the girls have grown so. I wish you were here to hold them, to protect and guide them…Guide us from above. For the Eden we seek is not in tomorrow, but in the paradise of the past. There I retreat with you in sanctuary, where memory is lush and alive...Enchantment veils the light, The world lies folded in the night, The sun has settled into abyss. Mid murmuring of contended peace- Comes the hour when a parting kiss – Day ends, and song must cease… Your spirit remains for the rest our days, our hearts sing out to you on this anniversary - We shall live again…we shall love again, in timeless eternity…
In your memory,
With Forever Love,
Your Girls

Another season, another reason to celebrate life, and the eternal cycle of it. Soltice. Renewal. Every season carries a memory of you - that is the gift...Surely as the snow does fall, surely as the sun will rise, you are in our hearts and minds - fully present within. How we miss you especially at Christmas, and so many, many days between. Time has not made getting through any easier. It hits us with a thud. You resonate, and though I cannot bring you back I recall you almost as constatnly as taking my next breath. Sometimes thoughts of you land upon me like a butterfly on my shoulder. Other times it is a striking blow that lands through to my center. Your absence is our permanence. I wish I had the magic tool box to fix what is broken in our hearts, especially the girls. It is a silent hurt...I search my heart for explanation and try to fill an emptiness I know I never will. But I tend to them and tell them you are "already there", a part of their garden, the landscape where our wildflowers grow, a part of who they are, and who they will become. You are that Mark - already there, waiting...Another season of change has come, another year for the girls to grow. Watch over them Angel and be proud. We send you our Love, May you sleep in Heavenly Peace...
In Your Light, Forever Love, Your Wildflowers

Surely as the snow does fall, surely as the sun will rise, you are in our hearts and minds, fully present within. Especially Christmas,and so many, many days between - we miss you all the days, so much it is almost tangible. You can see it without a word said.

Words have been written, sent but unsaved – so many thoughts, lost like tears in the rain. Another cold February is upon us, another year without you, the emptiness never-ending…What else can I do but keep trying…keep reaching out to you, holding on to the “Faith (that) sees the invisible, believes in the incredible and receives the impossible” - I sink in the silence; the vast, deafening silence, like a crashing wave over me…I must believe, and must accept…Yesterday you showed me a sign, clearly a confirmation that you are “there” with me. I spoke your name aloud – Yes, you are with me, in every heartbeat, and in every minute spent with our children. Our girls are like diamonds sparkling in the sun – they are surrounded by light and so much love. They know how proud we are of them. But the loss of you is achingly obvious, and the void ever-present. I told you I would see you tomorrow…You would not – then, could not answer…though you still speak to me, and speak through me. This is for you Mark, forever in our hearts – in memory; No Tomorrow - No winds blow, Nor seasons come, or go, Without you there, Your spirit ever near. No sun, nor moon, that each day rises, is without your presence on our horizon. No landscape bare or unbearably bleak; For signs of you we constantly seek. No act of kindness, received or given - is without your memory; Our purpose driven. No task too great, or hard to begin – As your strength is ours, Forever within…No tomorrow comes for us to share, Yet you are with us in our laughter, and tears. No life sadly is given, such a sweet certainty – only that of our humanity - For the wave that swept you furthest out to sea, shall bring us ‘round again, together in eternity…
With Forever Love, we remain…Your Wildflowers, Susan, Yvonne, Channon

Onto Piscean Shores...
In a house by the sea, I live with you still in deepest memory - there
against the wind, a perfect storm, where love collided - A broken ship, our worlds suddenly divided; Gone onto Piscean shores; as I here remain longing for you all the more - Until our stars once again are aligned, I must believe it is part of a whole of God's design; Though I curse the powers of fate that swept you away - I hold onto you every way; You were my stern, you were my bough - You were my inner vow - Drown in the nets of despair; Beyond my reach, beyond my repair...Away from me in nautical miles, Away from me your prodigal smile; Hit by the weight of the world in waves, down past the walls of pain; Please be guided onto your bliss - To again be united through all of this; in gentle waters that are forgiving, mingling amongst the living; I shared with you the flood, there in the pulsing of my blood...For even in Darkness'dream, lie still the stars - To light the way to where you are; There in that dream Elisian, there is that something to believe in - On "Into the Mystic," leaving as you lived, surreally simplistic...Oh, safe harbour home - If you'd come back you'd know you were not alone; Eachother's element by oceans degree; flowing seperate in transient,inevitable reality - Into the turqoise blue of truth, in the oneness of spirit there lies the proof...Your voice, a clanging bell in my head, hauntingly draws me down to the sea of dread;Sometimes it's distant, sometimes near...Your last words I do constantly hear - I feel you still in the everyday; Especially and most in the stillness of time - Once when you were mine; Far now beyond the crucifixion of lies; Knowing true well, true love never dies - On from this world as only we'd known it; Truly above, never below it - there in the depths of peace, you have truly been released...Though from the shore, I miss you more - Yet is the moon full tonight as my heart is of you - Oh it's shadow casts a mystical hue - For it is that cold month,the eve of - My Sweet Forever Love...Echoing in the waves of loss, Our lives, our love forever crossed - Forever in the sea of me, Forever in the depths of Eternity...
It is your birthday - we are without you - 3 yrs.an endless emptiness...with bliss and love"Into the Mystic" - Missing you, Your Girls

"If love could've saved you, you would have lived forever..." and there you do in us,in Evermore -
There once was a prince in our midst, By whom I once was kissed - My darkest knight, my bright day; Born on the edge of winter, with the strength of spring, How you were our everything...Vanquished yet to warring ways, To careless courage given into chivalry, Where honor fatally is set free - On a lover's battlefield our tryst fought; as king and queen, but all for naught - Where clashing hopes did collide in defiance, And hidden truths arose in alliance - Onto the journey of souls revealed, By the hands of heaven the heart is healed. It was perhaps a war we could not win - Wishing to go back, to once again begin, To bring you home,the place of peace and love that was - Our castle of "just because" - But once a king, always a king though you're not here,like the legend of Arthur and his Guenivere - To endure through time, your legacy, never to rest the warrior in me; My spirit wrestles each day with choice, I struggle above the din to hear your voice; So there in Evermore my heart does reign, reflecting in the mirror of pain - there on distant shores, a part of me is still yours - It is our story to romantize, and of all the qualities you epitomized...Apart only by the door of death, That opens for me in every breath - 'Til then I'll tell true the tale of Evermore - Of how I shall love you Forevemore...There to join in final retreat, At peace once again, the eternal bittersweet - Yet by your ghost I am adorned, your absence of which you warned, Your love once warn, crest and seal - to the eye inseen, yet real, Displaced from your good keeping, My dreams now forever sleeping...
Missing you as always, in our hearts everyday - believing in the circle of life...You are within us, our past, our present, our future...Love, Your Girls

On christmas morn
it was not the same without you. I watched as your beautiful angels unwrap gifts with bows and ribbons.
I watched their eyes and although seeming happy, something was missing..... it was YOU...missing YOU forever in their hearts, forever..... YOU are missed in their smiles.
and in the child's laughter your voice still echos.....they are pure as the wings of an angel!!
Your children grow, so tall..true beauties they have become, they have your soul...
The ones left behind will carry your stong legacy...and tell the stories of the past gone by..
I remeber the warm fires that burned at your home on christmas days...the light always welcomed newcomers or oldtimes...it offered warmth from cold...like the fires that in burned heart...you always offered warmth!!..always welcoming like the first flowers of spring..
Your still missed deeply in every breathe, and every momement.
I was honered to be there on your angels birthday and christmas morn..i will help tell the stories of you!!...your legacy.........
Be in peace...

Silent Symphony -
September Love, where have you gone? Perhaps you're there in the rising dawn, simply a part of Destiny's song...Yet no longer to hear the morning crow, No longer to share in Morning's glow. Your absence, my Silent Symphony - a constant I keep there in me. Oh, how it crescends, oh how darkness there descends! You taught me to say goodbye, to anything...Goodbye to summer, goodbye spring - Like a soltice - our time to change, the seasons collide and so to engage. You were right about borrowed time - We lost ourselves in life's prime. Yet there is Forever Love, it just changes it's guise, like a sun sets to it's glorius skies. I still believe in the marriage of our Souls - the magical moments that made us whole! I pass by often your favorites places - And I am wrapped in your memorie's sweet embraces! My Soldier of Love, you fought with your pride, and still you are my noblest guide. And from the scars we learn, to come back from the point of no return, That even a losing battle is worth the fight. My heart is full as the Harvest Moon tonight, my thoughts of you as clear, as the stars are bright. Our Love, tho' now it sleeps - under a midnight blanket, quiet and deep, will again dance to whats real and ours, again to dance under the heavenly of stars. To all the promises we aquiesced, to the Love that was our guest - Cheers my Darling on this September Anniversary - quietly I sail to the sea of eternity, there to dance to the song of you and me...

Still loving you...still wounded, fatally, forever to drown in the loss of you Mark - how we need you, so deeply miss you. It is not father's day without you in this world! Though I know you are "there" my ForeverLove watching over us from above...remembering you with every breathe I take, how the every day things we shared seemed magical, and doing nothing, was always "something", those very special, precious times we had as a family - our lives now will be measured (and painfully tested)in that longing for that gift which will never return...here is the poem I promised to write as Channon asked. It from us Mark, the seeds of us, to our wildflowers Yvonne and Channon on Father's Day. "Sand Castle Dreams" - Sand dollars and seashells cast upon the sand, sparkling jewells, we walked together step by step, hand in hand, There we built our dreams upon, tho' our treasure chest of hope with you are gone, still two little princesses dance by the sea, our daughters who shine in the light of you and me. Bright and beautiful, as the sun is a star, we know that heaven exists, simply because "they are"! We loved them before they were born, upon their heads a crown of sweet royalty adorned - loyaly and unconditional love that invisibly endures. How with our lives, we would protect yours! Baby steps, storybooks and nursery rhymes, ever changing childhood times. Like the tides that are ever moving, you are miracles ever proving. Daughters, you are Mom and Dad's dream, our sandcastle girls with smiles that beam! Continue faithfully, your castles to build, and may your lives with magic, and beauty be fulfilled. Carry us lightly with you, where you go, there always to guide you as grow, On a seahorse or mermaid courosel, may the wheel of life treat you well. Give your best to the world and others, honor yourselves, true sisters proud, and someday as mothers. To you we give all of our devotion, that which is deeper than any ocean. Always remember your own truth, savor and keep the innocence of youth. Though one set step of footsteps is no longer beside you, memories of love, make you stronger, forever there inside you...Mark, be at peace, and we will try - until someday we are united in the circle of life. " When my life is through, the finest thing I ever did was to love you" This quote is truly how I feel about you...may it ever surroung you, we miss you, Love Always, Your Wildflowers Girls

Can it be another year, another winter passing, another milestone? Again now we are on the cusp of spring, a time of renewal and rebirth and I quietly, bittersweetly remember yours! We went to where you rest brought a blue star balloon, to wish upon wherever you are - but it is cold there...even on a sunny day,we do not feel the warmth of your reassuring hugs. We do not make birthday wishes, only that you were here, where you should be celebrating your 50th. The kids ask how/why you are gone, especially Yvonne. I cannot explain the unexplainable - I do not know what to say, what to feel, what to say. I am sad. A part of their childhood now rests forever where you sleep. Their reality to will come them later, differently, but for now I try to fill them with wonder, and magic of the world and never-ending stories of us...we were never meant to be a family of 3 - it is my saddest, deepest regret. And fiercsley, feerlessly I protect what is left. We look around us and see other families, seemingly happy, and we try to be whole, in the disturbing absence of you. At times I feel we are like orphans of the universe, but you are part of that universe and somehow we are connected in the silent lucidity of you...I know they will read this someday, so I continue to write the words, thoughts and memories will not be lost in time (and for my sanity). I try not be lost in the wide open sea that is the rest of our lives,(nothing is a long time ago when it is the rest of your life...) I am exhausted by loss, with the burdens of all the what-ifs bearing down on me...I am getting older too. I have not had a genuine good feeling or real smile in the two years you've been gone - give me the strength to keep giving them the best of both of us. "Hi Dad - this is Channon. Mom got us rabbits this week and said they were from you, I miss you." "Dad, hi - it's your birthday - I Love You!" Yvonne. Mark, you would be proud of them - Yvonne is so academically strong, she's an achiever, smarter than the both of us and Channon's innocense and sweetness if her strength, she's a natural in sports. The are you, they are me, they are us! Though you are gone, this is your birthmonth and it is said that "March comes in like a lion, and out like a lamb", not unlike you in the reverse - I say, you lived like the sweetest of lambs and went out the fiercest of lions! Yet even in the animal kingdom, when one is trapped or in pain, the may self mame to escape...You were a lion - the kids just the other night said "how cool you were" You were that and always will be. They remember things of you out of blue, like "the night of the meteors!" as if it were yesterday. I won't let them forget - you are in our hearts, frozen in us like a february morning. (Afternoon in February) The day is ending, the night descending; The marsh is frozen, the river dead, Through clouds like ashes, the sun it flashes, On village windows, that glimmer red; The snow reommences; the buries fences, Mark no longer, the road o'er the plain; While through the meadows, Like fearful shadows, Slowly passes, a funeral train. The bell is pealing, and every feeling within me responds, to the dismal knell; Shadows are tailing, My heart is bewailing, And tolling within, Like a funeral bell - Longfellow...Sweet eteranl dreams my love. We love you, your wildflowers, growing in the memory of you.

Mark, it's your Birthday today. A special day we should be celebrating with you. I can just imagine all the cracks about the big 50. It's still so hard to understand why you are not here. Just to be able to pick up the phone and hear your voice. I know I can't but somehow writing these letters comforts me. I will think of you all day today, knowing what a special day it is because it belongs to someone too special for this world - you!! I send you a kiss and a hug! Miss you and love you! Diana

To Where You are...
You came to me in a dream last night, I felt you, saw you clear as day - I told you I loved you and you understood...It felt so real. I often have those moments of connection with you and await them, please keep letting me know you are there...how can you be gone? Grief is the price we pay for loving and losing someone, that is true. My grief is not assigned to any one day Mark, it is all of my(our)days...it seems no one hears my pain or sees my silent tears but I know you do, I am not alone. I wish we could talk as you always knew what the sadness of the world did to me, but I felt the quiet comfort of you around me...like the sounds of a rippling river or an ocean wave...A woman took her own life yesterday and her child's...I cry for them, I am sickened and so sad by the insanities in the world - the pain never leaves me - can you help me Mark, can you hear me? Please tell me you are holding that little girls hand where peace rests eternal,and comforts constant as a star! I cry as I write the words to this song for you, that which we understand, you are Forever in my heart and "a breath's not far away to where you are"..."Starry, Starry Night" - Paint your palette blue and grey Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness of the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and daffodils Cath the breeze and the winter chills In colours on the snowy linen land Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you sufferef for you sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen They did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds and violet haze Reflect in (your)eyes of china blue Colours changing hue Morning field of amber grain Weathered faced lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hands Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listed They did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left inside On that starry, starry night You took your life as lovers often do But I could have told you This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you! Like the stranger that you've met THe ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now I think I know what you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free.." You will always be my knight on every starry, starry night - Peace always be with you My Love

Darling Mark,
In the garden of Love you will always grow. For you are truly home in our hearts, this I know. It's there we see you in ocean dreams and rainbow smiles. In sands of time, together, we'll walk again the miles. That is where we built our dreams upon, though yet now our Camelot is gone. You were, as we are, instruments in an invisible hand, writing the stories we do not always understand - but "from the ashes the Phoenix will rise" and we shall look again into your loving eyes - alive in us yet in memory on this 2nd forever anniversay - (I continue writing the story of you)...Though you have died, I know that you lived! Celebrate him in each act of kindness, gentle gesture, each hug that you give - The Sweetest of Souls that left ust his day...Remember him, his smile, his truth, his simple way. He is Forever with me, and always to be...A stairway to Heaven I surely will build, 'Til then my heart with memory is filled... I call your name upon the winds, just to hear it, and feel your presence near - that of your Spirit! Forever believing in you, missing you, loving you..., your wildflowers - Susan, Yvonne, & Channon

O Night Devine My Love, it is the eve of our daughter's birth...remember the quiet snowfall on that silent night, the air cystal clear and cold, the moon was full and we began one of our most special journeys together - receiving the miracle gift of Life. And how our garden grew in it's own way, creating it's own kind of flower...our Love then as now remains unclassified, undeniable, unforgettable! How you were meant to be here to share in the lighting of her candles and all of our lives. This is the second season of Christmas without you, it is not merry, nor bright and though the light in me that was you has forever gone out, I still can see it in our daughters and so I endure without you my Spiritual Warrior - how I wish you were here by my side, on our side to guide and protect us from what seems a careless, callous world...though at times I truly feel your presence, nothing is or ever will be the same without you - I keep reminding myself that life is a gift given and you were ours, and family is what we build on - you were our foundation. It is harder now, harder to be brave...but "a stairway to Heaven I surely will build - 'til then my heart with memory truly is filled! From a memory to a dream and back again you come to me in waves and I long again to swim with you in that sea - often I go there, a sort of coming home, there with you where I no longer feel alone...together in time, if not here and now, there and then - it's simply meant to be. I continue to light the candles, symbolic of you, for our daughters and for all that we shared - that which some do not share in a lifetime...missing you as always, never forgotten - Sweet, Silent Night to you, our ForeverLove, xoxoxo,Your Girls

Mark, I can't believe that we will have to celebrate another Christmas without you here. Nothing has felt the same since you have been gone. There is always an emptiness when the family is together. God, your jokes and sarcasm always kept us guessing. I miss your laughter and your brotherly hugs. I always thought that my big brother would be here to take care of us. I hope you, Dad and Jolene are all watching over us and keeping us strong. I hope you are with us this Christmas, listening to our stories and memories of you, because we remember them all and knowing that you are somewhere among us will make it a little easier. I think of you everyday, and I miss you everyday. I love you, Diana

I just received a new entry and it finally reminded me to write to you, Mark. Everyone at the "jelly" is still thinking about you a lot.We bring your name up often. As for myself, every time I see a picture of Bon Jovi, I definitely think of you!! But, of course, you were better looking than Bon Jovi!!!!
Your old buddy, Dave Merritt and I now meet every morning in my office to go over shipments. Needless to say, Dave misses you like crazy!!!!
Just thought I'd let ya know we're thinking of you. Love ya and miss ya

Dear ForeverLove, it is another day without you, yet another day to honor you - Father's Day...we are remembering you in so many ways for so many reasons. Yvonne, Channon and I miss you so much, wishing we could hold your hand,to hear your voice,and see your smile, to feel again the comfort of your hugs. We feel the loss of you in the everyday things - God knows I see it in their eyes, feel it in my heart - I ache for them, for me and you..Channon's list amongst the many,reasons why she loves you are these: because he sang songs at dinner and danced with us in the kitchen, he showed me how to work on the house, he knew what to fix and how to fix it, he read me Harry Potter books, he made me feel safe...Yvonne questions how can we love him if he's not here? Missing the closeness you shared - I tell her you are gone only in body not spirit and we don't always see the rainbows but they do appear - like the light that continualy sparkles and shines on the water, that is "diamond time" you are there, and that is forever...we say you are "like the colors of the wind", and "the wind beneath our wings..." it is difficult, wrong, and so unreal that your not with us, but I thank you with all that is in me for coming into my life, and giving me the gift of motherhood,parenting together, becoming one with you, becoming a family - that is forever...hear my prayer; God take of him for me, without him I'll not ever truly be free, By his love, in this world I was graced, I hold him in memory fully embraced, He was that part of us that made us whole, and the very center of our soul...for you Mark, from us: Forever The Father -We've lost you Dad now to death But you are with us in every breath - Left sadly to walk alone, Surrounded in spirit by the love you've shown, For night has fallen, fallen fast - Yet your light upon us will everlast, Still it is darkest before the dawn, And we cannot believe you are gone...Our precious time has turned to precious prayer, In the arms of The Father, we know you are there - Missing you beyond imagination, Your quiet strength and endless adoration...Come bacl to us to the table of the living, There' so much to say, so much to be giving - Inside we feel we've turned to stone, But you'd be proud of how we've grown, You are part of us Dad in all that we are, In every morning and evening star; As devoted daughters, we'll not stop asking why, Yet in us, Daddy's Dream will never die - Forever The Father, Husband, Friend, Forever Love to you we send...(S.C.E) Thank you my darling for the gift of you...your children are part of your legacy and you are there singing and dancing within them...with our eternal love, Your Girls

To My Mark, it is the day of your birth and I continue to celebrate you...your life, and we are kept warm - like candles aflame, aglow in the memory of you! This will be so for the rest of our days...The girls and I brought you ballons, (blues & greens like your eyes) & let them go sending them from home to heaven with our love, watching them fly into infinity, til we could see no more...we search for you there, everywhere, wishing to hear your voice, wishing you'd come back, watching, waiting to see again the ship that sailed over the horizon...yet you are a part of us and who we are in our souls. And I will always be your "Gypsy-Soul, just like in the days of olde...into the mystic - when that foghorn blows, you know I'm comin' home..."(a favorite song of yours). I will long for you 'til the end of my days to rock me again as I am still/only your "wildflower". How I know I'll never be loved that way again - we so miss you...endlessly love you! Tho' the sea has bounds, this does not - it is infinate without measure, beyond time, beyond circumstance...I promised you that kind of love - for Love is a house that God has built and that is where I live, and Love is a lesson I have learned and that is to forgive! - s.c.e I've not had much support living without you - you were my family! My sister tries to comfort me - tells me I am "like a song, (though a sad one) not yet written"...but you were the part of me that made me whole, you were the melody of me - being without you is more than I can bear. Now "I bleed just to know I'm alive", frozen in time like the winter that took you but I go on writing your song Mark, a song that is ours -your legacy continues... remembering the years of abundance, innocense, pride and joy! ("the paradox of life...love until it hurts, 'til it hurts no more")- mother theresa. Your candle will always burn - beyond the ashes of desire, is the enduring flame of Love's fire... this is for you my Darling, God Take The Good: God takes the Good, The Beautiful, the Broken, the Misunderstood - to a place of Everlasting Love & Brotherhood - There's no more black, no white - only rainbow shades of gray, As the water-colors of you, have faded into the darkness of the day - Our time together now is gone, and here together now we pray...Lost to us in winter's night, never to regain - And that which took you, took as well, your pain - But you My Love did not live your life in vain, You had reason, you had purpose & personality plus -Sufferering so in silence, but made little fuss - How blessed were we, to have yoy here with us...A musical mad-hatter, an outlaw's style - With a pocketful of plans and a man-child smile, We'd gladly walk with you again - every step, every mile - You were the best of the best without a doubt, Yet you were the one we began to worry about...Giving your all to others, leaving yourself without - So often, so easily you made us laugh, To many of us, our better half - A "wildflower" wandering, pondering on passion's path...So handsome, so gentle, honest & true - Though your skies were not always blue, How you struggled with what you needed to do - There by Eden's Door in Peace & Light, Lay down your burden and your fight - There are no more wrongs to right - Put away your boat and leave the oars, You'll not be needing them anymore...Over the seas of heaven now, where Eagles serenly soar - God taked the Good - The Beautiful, the Broken, the Misunderstood, To that place of Everlasting Love & Brotherhood...(wish you were here - "spirit-wife")

My Immortal,
wasn't it yesterday we talked, touched, tasted eachother's tears and held eachother's hands, hearts and hopes? I must believe that your eagle spirit soars, and surrounds me like the wind - you are the wind...an unseen part universe that is continous and everlasting. You were and will always be the light in me, though shadowed now in the afterglow - my air, though it hurts now even to breath...my every thought...the more that time goes by, the more I know that you were my true soul's mate yet time has not been kind in these last months without you and time does not heal this kind of pain, it is unbearable - permantly altered now, bound and achored by the loss of you for the rest of my days as I hold on to our precious past, merely existing in the present and fear for the future...but I must remain afloat if only to carry on your name and your memory alive in our beautiful daughters. They deserve so much love, the kind they were used to from both us...how much we all needed you in this world and I told you so, so many, many times - how very loved you were, how very special! There was more to you than the world could see, so much more to share, though all could see you were the best. Thank you my love, for sharing life with me...I am missing you, wanting to look into your eyes, drifting without you, lost, needing your gentle strength more than ever and your very special brand of love. It is said in love that "there shall be such a oneness between you, that when one cries, the other shall taste the salt". We shared that oneness...I truly did and will forever, taste salt from the tears of our love that could fill the sea...sharing the last breath, we just needed more time...hear my prayer: (You are within us, though we are without, can you hear our silent aching shout? There's a stillness now that's hard to recognize - it is the ghost of you reflected in ours eyes...searching by an ocean that forever calls your name, in this world we'll never be the same - for if we are what we love in life, then we've perished with you, your daughters and wife. We're all pilgrims passing through, but it's not living without you...Good night my Prince, my shining light above, for eternity my shining Knight, my ForeverLove! )With oceans of Love, "Our Forever Valentine" Too beautiful for this world any longer to be your sweet soul's been set free. God in his great countenance looked upon and took you hence, as angel messengers were sent to guide - To where earthly pains so subside, Unbound but not too far from us, It is the promise given thus, Eternal is our connection, In family's everlasting reflection - Our knight gone to the light forevermore, One day for us will open the door. For in your life, and yet at rest - Among men you were noblest! In this world and on, (in afterlife) It was an honor to be your wife, "Your eagle spirit soars with mine, In the middle of somewhere divine"With tides of time together in that great sea, Where Love again shall our kingdowm be..."- s.c.e. (There's beauty in release...no one left to please, only you and me...'til you're safe and sound) - s. crowe...see you on the other side, you are Eternally Loved...

A year has passed and your friends and family all do their best to carry on and move forward with their lives, as you would want them to do. Still, you are and always will be in their hearts and in their thoughts. I was happy to see your girls at Christmas time. They're growing into beautiful young ladies. But I'm sure you're watching over them always and you already know that. Bob and I both missed you very much this Christmas. It had been such a tradition over the last few years to see you and your family for the annual Christmas party. A tradition that ended much too soon. If there were words to tell you how much you're missed by everyone, I would put them in print here for you. But I'm sure you already know...

Mark, I can't believe it's been a year without you in our lives. If only you knew how much you are missed and how many lives you have touched. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you. There will always be an empty void in our family without you to keep us strong and to make us laugh. I wish I had one more day to tell you how much you meant to me. You were the brother any sister would hope for and more. It's unexplainable. I miss your big hugs that always made me feel safe! I wish you peace and love forever! I send a hug to you today. I love you Mark!! Your sister.

Uncle Mark,
It's been one year since you left us, and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You filled our hearts with joy and happiness while you were with us, and you continue to do so even now, because of the memories we have of you. You are always in our hearts, and we will never forget you or what you brought to our family.
Love Always,

I have just learned of Mark's passing. Although it has been many years since I have seen Mark or his wonderful family, I can only remember how kind he always was to me and how he always had a smile to share. My heart goes out to Joanne & the girls, and all of Mark's friends & family. To everyone who may read this , take the time to tell your family & your friends you love them, as life is precious, and often way to short.

Mark, Mark, Mark - every week when I mail out the outgoing paychecks to the plant people, I miss so much seeing an envelope with your name on it. Every single Wed. when I do the mail, I always think of you. God, we all miss you so much... from the office to the plant people. your smile, wonderful attitude, and dynamic personality. You are always in our prayers and thoughts. I know that you are a guardian angel up there watching over your 2 daughters and maybe even checking in on us at the old "jelly" once in a while. Just thought I'd let ya know we're thinking of you all the time.
Love ya, Nancy poole

My girls and I just came back home from a trip to Massachusetts, and I felt the loss of Mark deeply. We usually got a chance to see him while visiting my dad and stepmom; never a very long visit, but just a chance to say "hi", and mutually congratulate each other on our beautiful children. We will miss Mark every time we come to MA, and will mourn the loss of a good man every day, even from 750 miles away. To everyone who loved Mark, I wish to say that I mourn with you, and pray that you will be blessed with his memory, and that time will ease your pain. We loved him, and we miss him, too.

Uncle Mark,
Hearing that you were gone broke my heart. You were always there for your family and even if we can't see you next to us, I know that you will always be standing beside us; because that was just the type of man you were. If we need someone to guide our way, I know you will be there helping us through our tough times. I will always remember your beautiful smile and never forget what a great Uncle you were and I will definately never forget all the love you brought into our family. You will always be in my heart and I will remember you always and forever; and nothing will ever change that.
I love you Uncle Mark, and miss you with all my heart. Love, Krislyn

We worked together at Kraft for many, many years and even though I only saw Mark a few times a year, I will always remember his gentle manner, his smiling face and what a true gentleman he was. Mark's passing devestated the 150+ employees that knew him over the years. We will never forget him! He will truly be a guardian angel watching over his 2 daughters that he loved so very much. We miss him terribly.

In the circle of Life, nothing loved is ever lost...How you were loved. And if Life is a sweet song, then yours was a symphony...How you lived,in your enduring,quiet way, giving us your very special brand of Love. You are unique in the universe and we will light the candles for you tonight and tommorow the day of your birth. We'll send our wishes, hopes and dreams to you. Soon I'll bring the kids to Notre Dame like we planned, to light a candle there in your name and we will pray. In life you proud and hard-working. You delighted, danced and dreamed. Yvonne & Channon were two of those dreams - How much care/effort it took to make them come true. You traveled, touched and tasted,loved to cook, camp and canoe. You hugged, helped, hiked and had a few. You experienced the wonders and joys of nature, in family love especially your children, nephews and nieces. Your nephew's brave, true words of you have stuck in my heart, capturing a water-colored image of you working the mulch in a thunderstorm. That was you, the rain touching your skin, glistening in your hair, the smell of Spring and Nature surrounding you. He inspired me to write these words:
Comes The Rainbow after the rain. Comes your Memory,in gentle refrain.
Comes the Sky to touch the earth. Comes the Eve of your birth.
Comes the Day in from it's night.
Comes the Soul unto it's flight.
Comes the Kiss upon your brow.
Comes the Feeling you are here somehow.
Comes the Spring,w/out you cannot be.
Comes the Reconciling of our Destiny.
Comes Another taken from us.
Comes an Angel now among us.
Comes The Quest in all we do.
Comes Our Song, a Requiem to you.
Comes the Time that we did treasure.
Comes the Love of boundless measure.
Come back again Mark. Show us the signs, bring us your light. I will be waiting by the window, by the door, will love you longer, love you more. Like Heathcliff awaiting his Kathy - And,like The Lady of Shallot, I too will die of a broken heart, ever-seeking you, my Sir Lancelot. You were my Camelot, my Other Self, my Braveheart! Your are now in spirit form, closer to the sun and we will meet again on The Path of One. This is for you Eagle Sprit:
Like a circle, without beginning, without end, You are my Lover, my Other, my Friend. So I write the words I cannot speak. Now that Love has reached it's peak - Must we perish or must we purge, for this New Life to emerge? Visiting me now in vision, leaving me your dreams - I shared with you what my heart had seen. Alike in ways that could not be explained, bound by Life's pleasure, by it's pain. We walked the path where two roads meet, Warriors at heart, unyielding to defeat. Believing and braving the tests of Time - We'll "be again" together on The Other Side. Your Eagle Spirit forever soars with mine, In the middle of somewhere devine - It is the cycle and the way of things, to set Love free upon it's wings. Still, we are connected You and I - Evolving, revolving like Earth and Sky. You were sweet stillness in a moving sea, An island My Love, so precious to me. How the sea comes back to it's shore, Belonging to eachother forevermore. You were my Home, my place of rest."You were My Life" and I was blessed. Our Love is a circle, without beginning, without end. You are my Lover, my Other, my Friend. "I'll see you tommorow," Forever & ever after... Eternally,Your Spirit-Wife

Although we didn't get together often, usually just at Christmas time, Mark, Sue and both of their families always made us feel like we were a part of their family too, whenever we came to visit. Mark had a spirit that radiated warmth and love to everyone around him. He will be greatly missed...and kept in our prayers forever.

A TRIBUTE TO MARK EVANS
Mark's life revolved around his family and friends. He war carved in the mold of his father, two men who were remarkably similar. Mark developed a strong sense of family from his parents. As the oldest of six children, and the brother ot five sisters there is no mystery of where Mark developed his patience and mild mannered temper. What he desired most in life was to have a family, similar to the one he was raised, his wish was fulfilled with the birth of his daughters Yvonne and Channon.
Mark's unselfishness could only be matched by his tireless work ethic, and on many occasions I can remember him hammering in the early morning hours of the weekend to build a new porch or coming home to find him mulching the yard in a thunderstorm. But, to limit Mark's contributions to our family to carpentry and yard work would sell him short of some of his finest qualities.
Mark's presence had the ability to put us all at ease. His dry sense of humor, quick wit and knack for story telling made him the focal point of every family gathering. No holiday was complete without Mark's rendition of a humorous family story from his childhood. It was times like these when Mark's presence made us all stronger; He was a means of support that we could all rest ourselves on. He is missed today, and will be missed forever.
Mark we promise to keep your loving memory alive in your girls and remind them often how much they were loved.
We hope Mark, that you are in a quiet place now and that your heart is at peace.

Mark, here's a poem that I wrote to express my feelings to you. It's not Shakespeare, but it's from my heart to yours.
I feel lost in the world now without my brother by my side. There's an emptiness in my soul that you can't see from the outside. I walk around in a daze, searching for a sign. Waiting for the answers to questions I know I'll never find. My world is foreign to me now. The days are not the same. Nothings normal anymore. Who should I blame? The tears I cry could fill the sea, But that won't bring you back to me. I know I need to find a way, to search for you in everyday. Where pain is lost and love is strong, where memories are forever, and you're by my side where you belong! I will love you and miss you forever!!!
Susan Evans
March 10, 2003
My Love, you are gone from us now a month to the day, to the hour and I replay over and over our last day together, our last words...We did not say goodbye. How I miss the sound of your voice, and I miss you so very deeply. There is only silince now and it is deafening. I am empty without you, hearing your echos within me. Time is forever altered and so am I. The kids wanted to watch Jack Frost and Channon thinks you're a Snowman. Yvonne doesn't buy that. I assure them that you are a spirit still with us. Your soul has left your body, your vessel. We look at pictures of you as every picture tells a story and they still say we match, having "the same hair." I remind them you were like a lion, a Lion-King so loyal, pure at heart and true. ("The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion" - King Solomon.) You were righteous and you were bold. I say we were like bookends with many stories in between. ("No legacy is so rich as honesty" - Shakespeare.) Your legacy is your truth and ours is/was and will remain a Love-Story Forever, and ever after. I know you looked into your father's eye's and like him, now, "In the arms of The Father, man becomes the child once more - But no one can fill the shoes you once wore" -(Dad")S.Evans I know He/They came to meet you. You are God's knight(as you were mine)and "God's angels still are near to save, And God himself doth help the brave..." I cannot say goodbye Mark but will end for now,with these words and the poem I wrote for you just before you sailed away...You are, Forever a diamond -like seaglass,smooth or rough, you were ours and enough...
IMPERFECT STORM - There are no promises now to bestow - Oh must it be, must this be so? Yes, but we'll still go (where only we cn go) -"'Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso..." Our hearts have sunk down to the depths of low - Taken under by the undertow...Without our vessel, we learn again to row, Up to the surface to feel to flourish, to flow - In sullen silence, the voyage seems ever slow, So sail away, say goodbye to wicked woe - Do not be drown by endless sorrow - Believe in the magic of what is tommorrow - You're stronger than the bitter wonds at sea that blow - This is all and this I know...In light that's found only in afterglow, Through air, and earth and sea you'll show - There's promise yet in you - Somewhere deep below..." Goodnight Sweet Prince, You are in my dreams - meet me by the sea...
Susan Evans
March 6, 2003
If eyes are the windows to the soul, I saw deeply into yours and you into mine. You knew I'd be waiting, keeping that window open for you to come back through and there have been signs...the kids have asked if, "Dad is here?" They believe, and always will believe in you. Remember you said Yvonne would be angry,(she is, and questions all) and that Channon would be ok (she only loves), but they are, as I am missing you, now and forever. Remember you said we were like two fish out of water (in-land for too long), remember our times being by the sea, in our element - "You were sweet stillness in a moving sea, An island My Love, so precious to me" You are there, as we will be. I cannot believe you are gone but I know, when it is my time I will be ready to meet you on the other side. Remember you said no one could ever feel sorry for you when you died because "it was an honor to be married (to me)"? My Darling, it was my honor to have been your wife and together we became better people sharing our life, all the good,the bad,the tragic...some things made us stronger, some things wore us down. In our last weeks together, we had many talks, (I told you I needed you in this world not the next)sometimes we laughed, cried together,fought as couples do, but we always loved, so much so that we could never truly be apart...Remember my last words to, "I'll see you tommorrow??" I am haunted and wish I could've made this world a better place for you to believe in the magic of tommorrow. There was so much more to you than me - there was heaven in you before you were gone to heaven. You were my man with the child in his eyes, ocean eyes I could drown in. You were your father's son, a gentleman, tradesman, pure at heart, kind and true, a family man - You were proud to be an Evans and we were/are so very proud of you. Forever,like a diamond, or seaglass, you were smooth, you were rough, you were ours and enough. D.A.D. - devoted, adored,dedicated. I will post again to you 3/9 at 10:25 pm (Imperfect Storm)and again on the eve of your birth/re-birth, Eagle Spirit...The soul takes flight, "by light that's found in afterglow, through air and earth and sea you'll show" I am alone in this journey but your spirit is and always will be with me and alive in your beautiful children - Eternally, Spirit-Wife

I can't begin to explain how I felt about Mark. He was a great guy and always made you feel welcome at his house. He would always have a warm fire in the fire place to welcome you home. Mark had beautiful blue eyes and smile to match. I can't thank Mark enough for bringing me to my sister and my neices. He was a doating father. His girls were his life. Every time I look at the ocean I will think of him, and his strength. I will always remember the back yard cook outs, and great advice and witty humor...I hope were ever he is he is soaring like an eagle over the ocean....and is finally free
I love you Mark!! and will always keep your memory alive in your daughters minds and hearts.....
Love Jan

Mark - a knight in shining armor. He reminded me of someone out of King Arthur's court - Lancelot, Prince Charming. To know Mark was to love him. He was stability in my sister's and their daughter's lives. A rock - solid as a rock! I looked up to him as more than a brother. I will always remember him for his noble manner, strength, patience, kindness, gentleness, selflessness, humor, quick wit, and the type of father, husband, brother and friend he was. He was beautiful! His exceptional character inspired us all to be stronger. I will remember his goodness and honorable ways everyday the rest of my life. I am glad my family had the privilege to know him. He enriched our lives. We all loved him very much and will miss him always.

Every room in our house has Mark and Burt's craftmanship signature. The only comfort in this is in knowing he is back with his partner and best friend. I will always remember his beautiful smile, and kind heart. He was special. Our sympathies to his Mom and sisters and his beautiful little girls who I'm sure inherited his wonderful qualities. His memory will be alive in our hearts and in our home forever. God Bless All of You.

We are so sorry for the untimely passing of our friend and neighbor. The first thing that comes to our minds is Mark's bright smile and friendly wave as we drove past his house every summer afternoon on our way home from work. You could always count on his cheerful greeting as we entered the Vandora Drive Cul de Sac. We will miss you, Mark.

I remember the day we met Mark as if it were yesterday - a new neighbor, and soon to be good friend. We shared laughs at cookouts, birthday parties, sledding and many lazy summer afternoons chatting after work. Mark was generous with his skills and was always there even when you only hinted that you might need help. These last few days I've seen just how loved he was by us all - how he touched everyone that he knew - and I only wish that love could have been enough for him in his time of need and pain. I hope that Susan, Yvonne, Channon and the rest of Mark's family will find some comfort in knowing that our love for Mark will go on and we will remember him forever.

I remember spending time with Mark at my aunt's house on the holidays. He always greeted us with a warm hello and a huge smile. I very much considered him part of my "extended family" and am very sad to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathy to his family, most especially Yvonne and Channon. From what little time we spent together, it was obvious that he loved them very much and enjoyed all the time he spent with them!

Dear Joanne, Tricia, Elayna, Brenda, Paula, & Diana,
The years have passed but the fond memories I have kept. This is a pain that no words can erase. I will always remember how warm I felt as a part of your family. What better way to experience a first love? No one can take away the sweet memories Mark has blessed each one of us with at different times throughout his life. Cherish them all.....I will always hold a warm place in my heart for Mark, and when those memories come to mind, they will bring a smile to my face. My heartfelt sympathy

I am stunned to read of Mark's passing.As his English teacherI have fond memories of him. We had an exceptional rapport. We bumped into each other twice in the past few years.
I send all members of his family my deepest sympathy.
I would certainly attend the funeral if I were not such a distance away. Robert M. Grant

Mark will be remembered by us as a wonderful neighbor, always willing to lend a hand, give a smile, or chat. A good man, a kind heart, a friend. He will be missed. We offer our prayers for his family.

Mark was a wonderful person and friend. He was always with a smile and never hesitated to offer a helping hand. I'll always remember and appreciate the special attention he paid to all of the children in our neighborhood, especially my daughter Kaelyn. Our neighborhood won't be the same without him. He will be sorely missed but remembered fondly.
