Mark-You no longer walk around me
yet I see you everyday,Whenever I witness generosity, or watch some spirited children play.I miss Your laughter,fun, and gentleness and the adventures we did take. I feel you so around me, Its a gasping breath I take.I will never forget you,and all that you have taught me about the small things in this wolrd who will tear down and laugh at my aspirations,and that the friend in you, will be there for my dreams.Im just so happy that everyone sees your enthusiastic about their success as you were to them.You made my optimism come true in so many ways. I will never forget you, In so many ways.Until we met again,"GOOD GAME".

Hey pop,
Words cannot express how much we all love and miss you. I know I could never take your place but I promise to watch over and protect mom and the boys the way you would have. You had the biggest heart out of anyone and were the hardest working person I have ever known. I'm proud of ya pop and I hope someday I can become the type of man that you were. I love and respect you more than you will ever know. I miss and love you dad.
Your Son, Joe

Mark was a wonderful man. I will never forget playing little league baseball under his coaching. He was always so patient and cared about his players' success. Big Joe, he may have been the hardest on you, but with reason. :-) Mark was probably one of the most caring people I have ever met, and he will be missed by all who knew him. To Joe, Andrew, Chris and Beege, my heart goes out to you and yours.
God bless, and rest in peace Mark. You are loved and missed.

I cherish my vivid memories of Hanssen/Miller vacations, card games, campouts, picnics, holiday parties, and countless family get-togethers. Our two families grew up together. It's not quite the same without you, Mark. I hope you know how much you're loved and missed.

It has been many years, but we have never forgotten the memories from May Court in LeClaire. To Beege and the boys, how sorry we are to read of Mark's passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Just this past weekend we we're thinking about you as we placed some Halloween decorations, made by you, for Logan many years ago. Please know our deepest sympathies are with you today and always.
Your old neighbors,
Cheryl, Tim, Logan and Lauren Frame
