To the Jaramillo family and my Dreariest Friend Kristine,
There are no words to describe how truly sorry I am for the loss of Mark. Mark will be missed by so many. He was the guy you wanted in your corner and always by your side. He loved unconditionally. As we all should. My heart will continue to ache for some time but I will forever treasury all my memories of him. Mark was a wonderful husband and a fantastic friend. I thank God for each day I was blessed to spend time with Mark.
Jaramillo family~ WONDERFUL JOB in raising such a strong and loving man. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,

To the Jaramillo Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Mark. I was in Las Vegas when I received a phone call and was very saddened. I remember Mark very well as Mary and I were good friends. We worked together at La Siesta and when Lupe and John were away for the Cursillo the boys would call me up and ask me to come over and cook for them. They used to tease Mary so much about using makeup, throwing away her makeup and not being able to cook. Those are just some of the memories I have. You have a wonderful family and with Mark gone I'm sure you will feel loss but you have all of those wonderful memories that no one can take away. Mark was a little mischievous but that was part of his great personality. He was always willing to help other people when needed and had the greatest smile ever. As I get older, I believe that everything happens for a reason, maybe we don't know why now but it will come to light and I am sure Mark is at Gods side. Jackie, my niece and him are in heaven laughing together not worrying about the worries of today just waiting for the rest of us to join them. He is at peace now and I will pray for all of you that life will get easier as time goes on, because that is the only thing that helps relieve your pain and that is time!! Love and Prayers to you all!!

You two looked so great together and he really showed how much he loved you! He was very friendly and had this smile that you cant forget. There are no words to comfort you at this time, but there are family and friends all around you to support and help you in your time of need. May God comfort your heart and those of his family.

My friend Dan & Family, When I think of what has happened to your family recently, it reminds me of an experience me and my brothers had. In 1972 we lost both of our parents, 6 months apart. It isn't the same, but I know what it is like to still be grieving for one you love, and then lose another. I pray for you and your family to have strength. He doesn't give us more than we can bear. The love of friends, God, and time is the only thing that helps. I want to do anything I can. I'm in the phone book and I am leaving my e-mail.

I am so proud to say Mark is my cousin, part of our family. When dad was alive he would talk about Mark and share about Mark's character. He would talk about how strong and tough Mark was and in the same sentence tell us about how Mark showed his respect,care and love for his tios, tias, cousins, parents. That is how I remember Mark a combination of respect, love and strength.
My prayers and love are with you.

To The Jaramillo Family:
I was very saddened by the loss of Mark. I was Mark's basketball coach at OLG and he was full of energy and was a great player. Attentive, talented and smart. I received the news over the weekend while we were in St. Louis and it really hurt. I still saw Mark in my mind as that little grade school basketball player and that smile he had that could illuminate a room.We send our utmost and sincerest condolences to the whole family . I would see Mark off and on but those times were far and in between but he would always come over to say hello.
Mark will always be a special person in our lives and Mark will always be just a thought away. God bless you all during this time of sorrow.

I know there are no words I can say that would comfort the indescribable pain you are feeling, I will leave that to the Lord. But what I can offer is my heart and my prayers for your family. I know the tragic and sudden pain of losing a loved one and I know that God will keep you and comfort you.

I wish there were words that I could say to you to make this easier and I wish there was more comfort that I could give then words but at a time like this it is not easy.

I can only offer you my prayers and keep you in my thoughts which I will continue to do always. I am sincerely sorry for your loss and know your faith will keep you strong during this time.
