Dear Shadle Families,
As one of the little sisters of Marilyn Moss, I was sometimes overlooked by big sisters friends. This was never the case with Mark or Kathy. I am sad at the loss you all are experiencing at this time. I always try to remember how important it is to tell the ones we love how important they are in our lives so that I don't have to wonder if they knew or if I told them enough how much I loved them. Iknow you all are a very loving family so you won't have to wonder about any of those things. I also find that I find peace by knowing that those who go before us are meeting THE KING, and that comforts me. When my brother Alan died, I knew that he knew how much I loved him, and he knew that he was important to my world. That still brings me comfort today.God bless you all. Sharon Moss Lewis

Kathy and family,
Very sorry to hear of Mark's passing, and my thoughts and sympathy go out to you. Mark was one of the good guys - and probably one of the funniest guys I ever knew. My thoughts go back to the "Guys and Dolls" days at Wm.James, and odd, that I am going back there today for a basketball game(my son is now a coach, and they are playing against them this evening), all the "fun" times we had then, and onto High School.
Mark was also one of the most intelligent guys I knew.
He will be missed.

Dear Kathy,
When I think even as far back as my Eastland Elementary days, you are in my memories. What a blessing to have friends that long. Even though we haven't kept up with each other, I have thought lovingly of you so often over the years.
It was right that you and Mark were together, and I am truly so very sorry for your immeasurable loss. I hope you don't mind if I share a prayer...
Merciful God, whose ways are not our ways and whose thoughts are not our thoughts, grant that your Holy Spirit may intercede for Kathy and her family with sighs too deep for human words. Heal their wounded hearts made heavy by sorrow. Through their tears and the silence of their great emptiness, assure them again that ear has not heard, nor eye seen, nor human imagination envisioned, what you have prepared for those who love you.
In the name of Jesus Christ, the firstborn from the dead. Amen
Kathy, may God bless you and keep you.
Love,
Cheryl

Kathy and Family,
Our hearts are saddened by the loss of such a wonderful man. He was a wonderful and kind supervisor, co-worker, and friend. He served as an inspiration for all of us with his positive and energetic personality. People who had the opportunity to work with Mark spoke of him often and always with praise.
Our prayers are for your family.

Kathy and all the Shadle family
My heart goes out to you. Events like this are so hard to cope with. I see it time and time again and know how hard it is to get over. Time and the mercy of God will heal the hurt and spare the good memories of time. Mark was always one of my favorite folks back in high school. He will be missed by all of us too. Kathy, you and your family are in our prayers. Let us know if there is anything we can do.

Kathy & Family, gosh after reading all the other entries it's absolutely impossible for me to say anything better than what's already been said. Probably the last time I saw you and Mark was during those years at UH College of Pharmacy so long ago. I had heard Mark had gone on and done well with Skaggs-Albertsons. Until today I just didn't realize how far he had gone. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

Kathy,
Having never met except by phone, I have always felt so connected to you through our ABS husbands. It was obvious Mark contributed a major part of his success to your love and support for him. He loved life and he lived it as an example to others. How blessed to have shared his life and the wonderful memories you made together. You are in our thoughts and prayers constantly and we will stay in close touch. Phil. 3:1 describes our feelings of Mark. Our love to Amy and Corbett.

Dear Kathy and family,
I just learned of Mark's passing today. My heart goes out to all of you. I wish there was something magical I could say to take the pain away. Mark and I went to elementary, junior high and high school together. He was a true friend from the first day of school and always so kind to me. Kathy, you and I have also known each other a lot of years from both high school and church. From reading the guest book, it is evident that you and Mark were a great couple and had a positive and lasting impact on so many lives. Although it will be so very difficult, I know you will continue to let the light shine through you. You are in my heart, thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Kathy and Family:
With sad heart I learned of Mark's passing. I guess the last contact we had was at Amy's wedding. So much has happened since that time. We have so much to get caught up on. Memories of you and I being the best of friends until Mark came along and stole you away, right to where you were supposed to be! How young we all were but how obvious it was at the very beginning that you and Mark were truly soul-mates. I will definitely see you on the 18th but please know that in the meantime I will be covering you and your family in prayers. May God hold you up when you think you can't hold up anymore.

Kathy and Family,
I have know Mark ever since he became or VP with American Stores. All of us "old guys" were so happy when Mark came back.
Now we have been devastated (as you have). He was so much fun to talk to and be with that it will take some time to get over this.
I wish I could say something to make you feel better but I can come with nothing. I can only tell you that you are not alone in your grief. I am sure that God will be with you and help you more than I ever could.
God Bless,

KATHY & FAMILY, I WAS SADDEN TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LOSS OF MARK. ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN MANY YEARS SINCE I HAVE KNOWN MARK, HE WAS ONE OF THOSE MEN YOU DO NOT FORGET. HE WAS ONE OF THE NICEST & MOST GENIUNE GUYS I HAVE KNOWN. I ALWAYS ADMIRED HIS ABILITY TO GET ALONG WITH EVERYONE . WHEN WE PLAYED FOOTBALL TOGETHER HE ALWAYS WORKED HARD, WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF HIS TEAMATES, & NEVER QUIT. HE WAS OUR CLASS PRESIDENT AND HE SET AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE IN HIS LEADERSHIP & HUMILITY. AGAIN I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS

Kathy and family, I haven't kept up with Mark for most of the last 39 years since we graduated Poly High together. I knew Mark then to be a man of character and integrity. And it's apparent from reading the guest book that Mark stayed the course and invested his life here as mentor to many. While I join you in grieving his departure from this life, I pray you will take comfort in the applicability to Mark's life of the words of Paul when he said "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing."

Just a note to let you know in High School Mark was one who never treated anyone different. We were all friends and equal to him. I admired his leadership. He was like a sponge in chem class. His great smile and laugh will be missed. The best to all the family.
Ken Smith

What I recall most about Mark from Poly was how he made me laugh. He was a reat guy and a wonderful high school classmate. I can't recall ever having a single cross word with Mark in those three years at PHS, and that says a lot for a high school friend.

Dear Kathy and Family,
I am so sorry about the loss of Mark, it is still hard to rationalize the reality of his passing. I wanted you to know what an OUTSTANDING boss he was to work for. He was always energetic and looking at the brighter side of things regardless of how frustrating things may have become (TSA). He was such a great role model to follow; I hope that I can become half the gentleman that he was. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers and your pain is shared by many

Kathy, Amy, Corbett and family, accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Mark. We both had the honor of working with Mark over the years; he made the workday brighter. Although it's been years since we last saw him, we thought of all of you often.

Dear Kathy,
It grieved me to hear about Mark. May the faith, family and friends you shared comfort you during this time of great shock and sorrow.
I remember fondly the Young Married class you and Mark taught at First Baptist Boise some 10 years ago. I learned so much from both of you. I came away with something each and every Sunday. For me, it was a time of exceptional growth in my spiritual life.
Reading the other entries of this Guest Book demonstrates to me the Mark that I knew on Sundays was the same guy on every other day of the week. He lived his faith! What an incredible legacy. It inspires and convicts me to do the same.
With much love and prayers,
Kathy Holmes-Obray

Dearest Shadle Family, I was shocked and saddened by the news of Mark's passing; I'm a former DPM with Albertsons, Mark hired me, his mentorship and leadership I will never forget. Truly a great man. Take care, God bless.

Shadle Family: I just learned of Mark's death today. I am completely stunned and deeply saddened. I worked with Mark as a pharmacy manager at Skaggs. I used to love visiting with him at company meetings when they called all the managers to the main office. Then he became my boss when he moved up into the upper management and stayed there throughout the change to Albertsons.
Without any reservation, he was head and shoulders above ANY higher management official I ever dealt with. He guided me through at least 3 or more remodels, stood up for us as the company wanted to downsize our space and actually got us a larger space than on the original plans. We proved his confidence in us was right by becoming the highest Rx volume store in North Texas and we used every inch of the space to get to this level.
Mark was the only manager that I could call and praise or raise a lot of cain with and he never failed to be my friend or to tell me like it was or would be. I know that it became a joke when his secretary would tell him, it's that crazy Gunn guy in Texas.
I really loved the man and was extremely priviledged to work for and with him. I was very excited when I heard he was back in Boise with Albertsons and felt really good for my pharmacist friends still practicing for the company. I knew that they would have a straight-shooter once again who would take care of them.
Your family should be proud to have called him, dad, husband,grandpa, brother, or son. He was truly a wonderful gift to all of us that got to be with him and know him. May he rest in peace with his Lord and Saviour and may God bless those of you who were his family.

Kathy. We were privileged to have the opportunity to know you and Mark in his early pharmacy career. I was always so proud to know that Mark had risen to such prominent positions in the pharmacy profession. I so enjoyed getting to see him at national pharmacy meetings. NACDS, NCPDP, etc. Jane and I were very saddened to hear of his passing. God bless you and the family always.

Kathy and Family,
Please understand that the years and the miles between us has not lessened the memory from an old friend from Poly High school. Mark was our class president and everyone I've spoken with, remember you guys as a couple we knew were meant for each other. My personal prayer is that all of you find peace in knowing God loves Mark and each of us perfectly. You remain a special part of all of us in the Poly '67 family

Those of us so Blessed to have been a part of his team at Albertsons know very well that there are few words that can be said that would fairly represent who he was as a husband, father, friend, coach, mentor, leader, man of integrity and man of God!
Mark touched us all in ways that made us better.......better fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, leaders, friends, employees......He taught us much, much more than just how to be better managers of our people and our business!
Mark was the consumate gentleman, professional, leader and encourager and his legacy will live on as we commit to live a life that honors his memory!
I (we) have lost a true friend and colleague and I will miss our regular conversations and his calming, reassuring and encouraging voice.
Rest well my friend!
Kathy, Amy, Corbett --- Know that he loved you guys more than anything and honored you in all that he did.....be proud of him and cherish your memories. Know that we are here for you!
