Hi Honey,

I miss you so much. Your on my mind all the time. I'm sure you know that but it feels good to tell you so. Grandma remarks often about how much she misses seeing you and talking to you. She loved to tell you all her stories. Are you telling them to grandpa now? I wish I could sit in on some of the conversations with all of you. I miss everyone so much. Remember to tell them we love them.

We missed you so much on the 4th but Morgan handled things quite well, when it came to shooting off fire works. Marissa did a few too. But it wasn't the same without you.
It never will be will it?

Well, honey just know I miss you and I wanted you to know. This is like a touch stone I guess, that is besides all my prayers. I love you so much.

Love You Always,

Mom

Hey there Mark,
Been thinking about you alot. With the 4th right around the corner I know exactly where you would be and what you would be doing. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and wish you were back with us. We miss you and love you!!
Guess who? Yes your favorite!

Honey,

I just wanted you to know I miss you and love you so much.

Well we went to the cemetery on your birthday and your dad's and my wedding aniversary and left you flowers and prayed and talked about you. Remembering so many things. I kept remembering the first wedding aniversary and birthday you and I spent together after dad passed. It brought back such sad but loving memories. You spent the first with me almost 21 years ago and now your spending this one with dad. I'd have given anything Mark to have taken your place. Anything.

I hope you, dad, grandpa and Derrick shared a good time together. Tell them all we love them and miss them too.

Honey, you brother is doing everything you asked of him and doing it so well. As I'm sure you already know. You would be as proud of him as I am.

Just know, Mark, that we keep you in our hearts,minds and prayers and think of you all the time.

I'm Sending You All My Love Son,

Love Mom (Gilly)

Stacie, Marrissa, Morgan,

I just arrived back in town, I have been gone since January 30, and I had a message from Jerry James about Mark passing. What a shock to me and to you all. Mark worked for my late husband Jim Shindler for Humana and Jim could always count on him to do whatever needed to be done. I always remember when you all used to come to our house for Christmas dinners and when you had first Marissa and then Morgan, we used to always love to see them and watch them play. I know it still seems like it didn't happen, but just take your time and let your friends and family help you and the girls. I know Jim and Mark are all ready talking about old times, just know Mark will always be watching over you and the girls. I will try to get in touch with you later and visit, we all remember the good man that Mark was and always will be special. Take care of yourself and the girls.
Our daughter Tammy also sends her thoughts and prayers. We love you and the girls.

Thoughts and Prayers,
Nadine Shindler and Tammy Shindler

Dear Stacy,

I was shocked when I returned Jackie's call today, Feb 4, and was told of Mark's passing. I am so sorry to hear the news and I am saddened that I didn't know about it in time to share my condolences with you and the girls in person at the visitation and funeral.

If I ever need an angel I sure hope it will be Mark. He was always so kind. I just know God needed him and has plans for him. He was always so willing to help out at work in any way he could without any complaints. Even though it has been several years since we worked together I can still recall his mild manner and persistant smile. I also recall how proud he was with the birth of each of his daughters. He was one proud daddy.

Stacy may your memories of Mark and the Grace of God sustain you throughout the coming days.

with Sincere Sympathy,

marissa

Since I couldn't say this yesterday at the service I thought I would share it here Mark:

I am sitting here in complete disbelief and wondering how we are going to make it through this. From the moment I met you, Stacie, Marissa and Morgan, I knew we would be family no matter what. When I had my surgery you called to check up on me and before we hung up you told me "I love you Nanc". Those words meant more to me than I could ever say. There are so many things that I am going to miss. Your teasing little remarks, that soft laugh, your soft twangy voice and even you lighting up those nasty cigarettes. I don't think I can ever eat bbq beans again. Nobody could or will ever come close to yours!! You have touched so many peoples lives and I bet you don't even know it.

Having you and Stacie stand up at Mikes and I wedding in Jamaica is something I will hold in my heart forever. I will always remember you and Stac standing out in the water with your backs towards us with your arms around each other and thinking how much love you have towards one another. That is a vision I will never forget!!!

Marissa and Morgy, know that your daddy loves you more than life itself. There is nothing that he wouldn't have done for you two. He is so proud of you girls, that will NEVER change!!! Remember he will always be with you, just "Believe".

Oh Mark, who is going to keep your mom and Mike in line now? You always know how to use that tender touch of yours. They will miss your special ways. God, how lucky they are to have you as a son and a brother. How lucky am I to have you as my brother-in-law and my kids to have you as their Uncle!!!

I don't know what lies ahead of us but one thing I do know is that my life has been blessed to have you in it. I will cherish each and every moment that I had with you!!

I know you are probably up there with your dad, grandpa and Derrick and you're saying, "ok, let's get on with all of this and everyone pop a cold one", I give you my word, we will.

We love you and are missing you terribly!!



See you in my dreams

Mark was a very talented craftsman and artist. All of us at A Stained Glass Station will miss his cheerful smile, his attention to detail, and his desire to do the best work he could. We are very saddened to know we will not see his smiling face come through the door. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Mark and Stacie--what else is there to say, it wouldn't be right to say one name without the other. Two of the most important people throughout James and I life. There is an empty place in our hearts today. We love and cherish the friendship that we have forged over the years. Even the years we were apart very few days went by that we didn't mention their names. Mark was a terrific person, wonderful husband and father. He will be cherished in our hearts forever.

My Dearest Son, Mark,

I would have given anything to have been able to tell you how much I love you and how very proud I have always been of you, but God had other plans and took you all too soon.

Mark, you were a special gift from God and I'm blessed to have been your mom.

I've been so lucky to be able to watch you grow into a wonderful man and an amazing son, brother, husband and father. Through the many years I have been told you've been a terrific friend, a knowledgable worker, and a man anyone could rely on and trust. Those words have been repeated to me again and again in the past few days just reminding me of what I already knew yet it is now bringing me such peace. I've been told your a man among men, one of a kind and that the mold was broken when you were born. My heart is over flowing.

You will always be loved and dearly missed and you will always be in my heart and prayers.

Till I'm with you again son, I love you so much.

Mom

A family can hardly conceive of doing without someone like Mark. He was someone who'd say, "Oh it's no bother, I actually like doing things like this," as he was was putting up a new closet door for you. And he meant it! Cheerful, willing, talented, able, good-humored and just plain good. That was Mark. All who knew him will miss him. Love to Stacie, Marissa, Morgan, Judy, Lila, Mike et al.

Mike and Family;

...to dwell in the house of the Lord, our daily prayers will include brother Mark.
I lost my older brother 34 days ago and we witness the Lord's celebration of a meaningful and significant life...hopefully these two amazing men of God will meet.
