I miss you so much every day, and the saying " till death do us part " is not true.... I still love you and it's been 10 years today since you went to your new home in heaven, and until I get to meet you there I will always love you. I know your with me and your family eveyday, but as you know I also need you still to keep us all together, my heart breaks as much today as the day you left. And if I only had one wish that could come true, it would be that you were here with me and our two wonderful children Mindy and Mike and our one Grandchild Colin, and we could all be a happy family again. I miss you so very much but love you even more

So sorry to hear about you son. He is in a better place along with my wife. We are the ones who have to suffer because of the hole it leaves in our hearts. We must rely on our great memories of our loved ones to keep us going.

My dearest Mark:



I have remained silent for this past year. I have to speak now.

You teased about your mom and I being two old people trying

to be nice so we could get into heaven. You beat us there.

The early morning call of your leaving reminded me too much

of the early morning cries of my mother. I enter the bedroom

and my father took his last breath and left this earth. I was

just 18 years old. He was the 1st link, I was the second link,

and you were the third link. You stepped up and took your

turn in advance. You broke the chain. It has been a long hard

passing year and doesn't get any easier. Before we were apart

but we knew you where there when we would arrive. But now

we can only visit a cold headstone where you lie.It is not the

same. You don't know how many people miss you and wish

you didn't have to leave so soon. Everyday of your young life

from birth to manhood flashes before me because you being

the 1st born was the real beginning of your mother's and my

life as a Family. We were so happy when you arrived on

earth. Now that you are gone, Rest In Peace My Son. We

love and miss you so much. We will still be here for your

family when the need arrises since you can not be here for

them. Love You and God Bless You.

Dormagen Family & Friends- Mark was one outstanding person and we were all priviltged to have had him in our life. He was so special & someone that impacted everyone he met. Mark was always smiling and ready to sincerely include any of us as a dear friend. No one who knew Mark hasn't learned lessons in how to treat and care about others. The best gift we can give to him and his family is to try to be the kind of person Mark was. My heart goes out to you who are part of his family because we, his friends, still deeply feel the pain of his loss and we are not you. I hope the family continues to gain strength from knowing that they were blessed to have such a fine man in their life who was respected and loved by so many, even if it wasn't long enough for any of us! My prayers and thoughts are still with all of you.

My Dearest Son

I has been one year since you exchanged this earthly world for the heavenly world. I miss you so much. There are times that I wish I could pick up the phone and call you to hear your voice once again.

The hole in my heart is still there but many more memories have taken up residence there.

Just wanted to let you know that you are so loved and missed.

Till we meet again

Much love

A Letter from Heaven



To my dearest family

Some things I'd like to say,

But first of all to let you know

That I arrived okay.



I'm writing you from Heaven

Where I dwell with God above,

Where there's no more tears or sadness

There is just eternal love.



Please do not be unhappy

Just because I'm out of sight,

Remember that I'm with you

every morning, noon, and night.



That day I had to leave you

When my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me

And He said, "I welcome you".



"It's good to have you back again

You were missed while you were gone,

As for your dearest family

They'll be here later on."



"I need you here so badly

As part of My big plan,

There's so much that we have to do

To help our mortal man."



Then God gave me a list of things

He wished for me to do,

And foremost on that list of mine

Is to watch and care for you.



And I will be beside you

Every day and week and year,

And when you're sad I'm standing there

To wipe away that tear.



And when you lie in bed at night

The days chores put to flight,

God and I are closest to you

In the middle of the night.



When you think of my life on earth

And all those loving years,

Because you're only human

They are bound to bring you tears.



But do not be afraid to cry

It does relieve the pain,

Remember there would be no flowers

Unless there was some rain.



I wish that I could tell you

Of all that God has planned,

But if I were to tell you

You wouldn't understand.



But one thing is for certain

Though my life on earth is o'er,

I am closer to you now

Than I ever was before.



And to my very dearest friends

Trust God for He knows best,

I'm still not far away from you

I'm just beyond the crest.



There are many rocky roads ahead of you

And many hills to climb,

But together we can do it

Taking one day at a time.



It was always my philosophy

And I'd like it for you too,

That as you give unto the world

So the world will give to you.



If you can help somebody

Who's in sorrow or in pain,

Then you can say to God at night

My day was not in vain.



And now I am contented

That my life... it was worthwhile,

Knowing as I passed along the way

I made somebody smile.



So if you meet somebody

Who is down and feeling low,

Just lend a hand to pick him up

As on your way you go.



When you are walking down the street

And you've got me on your mind,

I'm walking in your footsteps

Only half a step behind.



And when you feel that gentle breeze

Or the wind upon your face,

That's me giving you a great big hug

Or just a soft embrace.



And when it's time for you to go

From that body to be free,

Remember you're not going...

You are coming here to me!



And I will always love you

From that land way up above,

I'll be in touch again soon

P.S....God sends His love.



©Copyright 1998-2005





I am so sorry....but, remember....God knows best!

My prayers and thoughts are with you always.

I love you more than you will ever know.







I found this and it has brought comfort to me, and I thouhgt I would share it......

Margie Dormagen

December 14, 2005

Dearest Mark,

It has been a year since you moved to heaven, and I miss you more then words can express. My heart breaks daily for you.



I have made it through Christmas, New Years, our Anniversary, and Valentines Day. I made it through Easter, Your Birthday, 4th of July, Summer Vacation, and Halloween. Thanksgiving was tough but again with the love of our Children, Family, and friends I was able to pull through the day. But the anniversary of you leaving and my birthday will be the hardest to get through. I have kept up the family traditions that we created, and all ways had you close in my heart. But Mark, today the tradition was all ways to take the day off together and go Christmas Shopping…. just you and me. Stop for lunch, and then hit the stores again. Racing home to hide the gifts before the kids came home from school. Then we would all meet up for my birthday dinner.

How will I get through this day now? Tonight the kids will be with me… but it’s the day time with out you that I having to deal with. I miss you so.



My mind keeps going back to a year ago when you left. Our last day together, your last words, your last look, your last touch….. I now see things that I didn’t see that day, and I now hear things I didn’t hear that day, and most of all I feel things I didn’t feel that day.

I have been so proud of you this year. And now understand so many things, I never understood before. I have learned so much this past year that I never thought I could learn. But the most important thing that I know now, is how much I loved you and how much you loved me and the kids.



You from heaven, and with the help from God, have given me the strength to fight for the things that we worked for, You have given me the courage to move with mine and your dreams. You have guided me through tough decisions and showed me how to go on with life.

I know now that I should not wait for you to come home, because you never really left.

I thank you for being our Guiding Angel, and for living within my heart.

Please know that you are sorely missed and loved even more.



Your loving earth angel,

Margie

Mark,



It is almost a year since you left us. I still can't believe you are gone. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and miss you. It is hard still. I make Danny call Margie to check on her to see if she needs anything or justs wants to talk. I keep saying I need to call her but have a hard time doing it. On occassion, he will call her and if it is a good day, he will hand the phone over so I can talk to her myself.



Your guest book is getting ready to expire soon and I wanted to make sure I get a copy to keep with all of my other stuff from your passing.



I hope you are at peace.

I love & miss you.

Paula

Mark

43 years ago today you came into this world and our livss. You were so wanted and loved and we miss you so very much.

The void in our lives when you left this world for the eternal world is filling up with all the memories of you as you grew into such a wonderful young man. The two that keep playing on the screen in my mind are, first, how you made a vacuum cleaner out of your Tinker Toys and vacuumed along side me as I did and your vacuum stood along side mine in the closet and second, how one day you fussed when I tried to dress you in jeans and t-shirt. After a while you announced that you wanted to wear a dress like mommy. I explained that you were a boy like daddy and daddy doesn't wear a dress and finally you were satisfied and put on the jeans and shirt. Other memories flow thru my mind but for some reason these two most often.

So on this the 43rd anniversary of the day the cord was cut separating you from me at your birth, I cut the string that ties you to my heart so you can fly.

Godspeed, till we meet again.

With much love

Mom

Margie, Melinda, Michael,

To hear of Mark's passing was a flood of emotions from disbelieve to realizing just how short life can really be.As I scan the guestbook seeing names of people I have meet and others I haven't the common thread it seems to me that Mark did touch many lives and left a positive feeling behind. As one of his oldest friends and the bestman to his and Margie's wedding. I say goodbye for now my old friend and sorry for being gone so long.

Wendy Tigue

January 3, 2005

Margie, Mindy and Michael,

You don't really know me, but I do share in your sympathy. I'm Aunt Sandy's oldest daughter, Wendy. It's not easy when things like this happen, especially during the holidays. Just know you are being thought of always and we send our Love to you all. It will get easier, not right away, but it will. Just know you have that guardian angel on your shoulder, your husband/father, Mark. He is looking down upon you from up above. Love and well wishes, Wendy (Howell) Tigue, Tom, Shaina, and Skyler

We are very sorry to hear about the loss of your son and brother and our cousin, Mark. I know it is very difficult during the holidays. Just know that you are being thought of during this time and always. Right now, it doesn't seem that way, but in time, things will be easier to handle. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss and know you are all loved and being thought of each and every day. I am sure Mark is watching over all of you from above. Love Always, Wendy (Howell) Tigue, Tom, Shaina and Skyler

To my Aunt Bev and Uncle Fred:

My sincerest condolence to you and your loved ones as this news is difficult to accept any time. Even so, you should be proud of Mark's ample and significant accomplishments. This message board reflects just how deeply he has touched so many people throughout his lifetime; loving son, husband, father, relative, friend, and valued co-worker. Having made such a positive impact upon so many lives in such a short period of time is perhaps the most significant legacy anyone can endeavor to achieve. I am proud to have had Mark as my cousin. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Nicole Adams and Sammy



To Margie, Mindy, and Mike:

I am very sorry to have heard of your loss. I am Mark's Aunt Judy's daughter in Pennsylvania. Time and distance have kept us apart and I regret we are now in touch only after this tragic event. I have always heard the latest news about my relatives in California and have seen some of your pictures. I am sure the same is true for you about us. This event truly does teach us all time is "precious". Mark was the first of my cousins (Gretta's grandchildren) to have passed. Perhaps this tragedy can bring us all closer as we have rarely met over the years. Please know that we here are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Please stay in touch. Best Wishes.

Nicole (Swaydis) Adams and Sammy

December 24, 2004

My Dearest Mindy, and Michael,

I know that the loss of your father has torn your young worlds to pieces; we counted on him so much because he truly took care of our needs and us. As you read through the wonderful messages from all who knew him, you can better understand the man you called Dad. You have both been so awesome through this tragic time, and I just want you to both know he loved you and was so very proud of both of you

As your heart is healing, please know that he will be there always in spirit.



To My Loving Husband Mark,

I truly miss you more than words can say. I’m lost without you. I now understand the song you had picked out for our wedding day “Precious and few”, I want you to know that you were so loved, not only by your family, and friends, but at work too.. I’m so overwhelmed by the love I’ve felt by everyone, and I have you to thank for that. I’m so very proud of the man you were.

Have a great Christmas in Heaven.

Your Loving Wife

Mark,

You are truely missed. Our world is a darker place without you. You were always ready to lend a helping hand and to bring a little laughter into our lives. You always provided everything your famly needed or wanted. In the dictionary under son-in-law there should be a picture of you.

To my oldest brother Mark... You left us way toooo early. I sit here wiping the tears from face while I remember our childhood. I have so many things I want to say but I know we will meet again and you will kick my butt. So, I will just say Rest In Peace Big Brother, I love you and please know we will help Margie, Melinda & Michael for you.



To Margie, Melinda & Michael... I am sorry my brother to leave you. I know he is still watching you from above. Please know Danny & I are a phone call and a hop, skip & jump away. Call us anytime, day or night if you need anything. We are and will always be here for you.



To Dad, Mom, Gayle & Alan... I am sorry you have to hurt like this. I know in time we will begin to feel better. At least we have all of our memories of him.

I just saw him a few weeks ago in Shoreview, and been in recent meetings with him, like many other people here at Deluxe. I know I can't begin to imagine your pain. He was a great person! I pray you find comfort in one another.

Margie and family,

I'd like to extend my deepest condolences for your loss. I worked with Mark on many projects and sought out his help on many things that he was not involved in and yet he never hesitated to help and was never too busy for anyone (even though everyone knew how full his plate was). Mark was a very generous and kind person and I feel very lucky to have known him.

Dear Margie and family,

I had the pleasure of working with Mark on many occasions over the past 8 years. He was a guru for me, as his knowledge was extensive and his patience abounding.

I am saddened at Mark's passing. I have worked with him closely in many projects. Whenever I had questions I knew I can turn to Mark. In fact when I met him in the cafeteria at victoria facility last month he was kidding me "Ashok, any questions for me !". He was a warm and friendly person whom I will miss very much. My deepest sympathies.

To my precious daughter Margie, & Grandchildren Mindy & Mike.



I share in the sorrow of your loss of your husband and father Mark. I will miss him so much. On the Morning of November 30, in Virginia, I said bye to Mark, but could have never dreamed it was a final goodbye. The time spent there will never be forgotten. The Turkey dinner Mark prepared was delicious and his jokes were delightful and enjoyed by all. God is so mindful of us all to have given me that time with our family. I love you Margie, Mindy, & Mike.



I also want to express my sympathy to Marks father, mother, sisters and brother. Truly Mark was a remarkable person.

GOD BE WITH YOU OUR BLESSED SON. DAD AND MOM

I am so saddened by Mark's sudden death. I've had the pleasure of working with him closely on a couple of new Deluxe product launches over the last year and a half. He brought so much to the project teams...both in technical knowledge and personality.



Deluxe has lost a valuable employee...and the world has lost a wonderful man. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Vicki Canterbury

December 20, 2004

Margie and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. Times ahead will be hard but Mark will always be with us.



I met Mark when he became a BA on our Deluxe IT team. He was an outstanding employee but most importantly he was a great guy. He brought a smile to everyone's face. He talked so proudly of his family. We enjoyed his visits to Shoreview.



He will be missed.

December 20, 2004

To Margie, Melinda and Michael, and to Marks siblings, Gail, Paula, and Allen, my sincerest sympathies on the loss of your husband and father and brother. To my very close childhood friend and classmate, his mother, Beverly Ash-Dormaggen and his father, Fred, and her Pittston Avenue siblings, I can only offer my compassion and sympathies and sense of loss that I experienced a little over a year ago with the sudden loss of my third youngest and only daughter at the age of 31. For Beverly and Fred, always be aware that our beloved Avoca and Scranton PA and its great families share your mourning. For your children are also ours, and we truly are here to offer our assistance whenever you call upon us. The road to memories is not only difficulty but uncomprehendable, so I offer an extract from Kahlil Gabrins, "The Prophet." to help you in life's most difficult obstacle: "... For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance. ..."

Carole Anderson

December 19, 2004

Margie, Bev, I am so sorry to hear of Mark's passing. I remember him most from when he was in grade school at Santa Susana Elementary. I have heard so much good about Mark from his mom Bev who is my friend. My heart goes out to you all. Carole

To Margie and all Mark's family - I would just like to tell you that it was a great pleasure to have known such a nice guy- a real gentleman -like Mark. Although we were only business acquaintances, I would have been happy to call him friend under any circumstances. I was very saddened to hear about his passing and extend my sincere condolences My wife & I will remember you all in our prayers.

December 17, 2004

Margie, I was so sad to hear the news of Mark's sudden passing. He was a wonderful person who gained the love and respect of many people. Mark has always been such a kind, thoughtful and caring man. I pray that God will give you the strength and comfort you need at this time.

On behalf of myself and my co-workers at JPMorgan Chase, we pray to the Alighty God to grant Mark's soul ETERNAL REST. AMEN

Mark has been such a good friend and co worker for so many years. We had so much fun together doing all the crazy projects Deluxe had coming through the pipeline. He was always such a helpful and friendly face when I traveled to Kansas City. He will be missed terribly by me and so many others at Deluxe that loved him. My thoughts are with you and your family during this very difficult time.

The news about Mark truly saddened me. Mark was a great friend both in Kansas City and Chatsworth. He had such a great sense of humor and wit. We never could have converted to Front End Billing without him.



I'll always remember he would "wave his magic wand" to fix all our problems. As in life, he never let things get him down, but always found a way. He was, and is, an inspiration.



I will always remember the good times we had in Chatsworth at work and playing golf. He was a class act. We have lost a great man.



Margie, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Margie and Family,

Mark can best be described by many of his co-workers as the "go to guy" for the most complex and technical issues. Often the question would be ... "Has anyone asked Mark?" The comfort level would rise significantly once Mark weighed in on a solution. But more importantly was his friendliness and kindness to anyone who called. He had time and made time for everyone. He will be so greatly missed by so many.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you go through this most difficult time.

Margie, I am so saddened to hear about Mark. It is just so hard to believe. I have spent the last few days rembering Mark and all the good times and great memories. Even at such a sad time memories of Mark and the good times we shared still bring a smile to my face. I know it had been a long time since I last spoke to Mark but I will always consider Mark a true friend. God bless you and the kids.

Margie,



I can't tell you how saddened I am and how much loss I'm feeling. Although, we hadn't kept in close touch, I ran into Mark on one of his recent trips to MN. Happy as ever with the non-stop grin. That's how I'll always remember him. He is and will always be a great part of my warm memories with Deluxe and the great times in Chatsworth Regional.



Margie, if there is anything I can do to help ease you, Mindy and Mike through the times ahead, I hope you will feel comfortable enough to call on me. Mark will be sorely missed in this world but I'm sure he is being fondly welcomed in the next. I look forward to the day when we meet up with him again.



In Sympathy,

I was deeply saddened to hear about Mark. I only got to see him twice a year in the Spring and the Fall when we'd meet for the DBL but considered him a good friend over the past 10 years.

My prayers are with you and your family. Mark was liked by all and many people across the United States and throughout Deluxe will have fond memories of Mark.

God bless you,

Margie, Mindy, and Mike...my deepest sympathies to you. I had the pleasure of not only working with Mark, but playing football and golfing with him as well. We used to joke that I was his favorite receiver as I would always seem to catch his passes whether I was on his team or not. Mark was a great friend and teammate. He will always be remembered.
