I can't even begin to express how much you are missed. You came in the bank every morning and got our day started. There truly was NO ONE like you. I still have your face print on my window by my desk when I wouldn't open the doors quick enough. I'll be sure to visit you when I go see my papa. Chad and Rachel, your dad was an awesome man and all I can say is how sorry I am and to keep your heads up. If you need anything, know that I'm here. :)Mia Fitzhugh

My friend Mark:

I will never forget the first time I met you while working at the bank. I was so scared of waiting on you but come to find out you were the best customer I had. I always looked forward to seeing you first thing every morning. Although I no longer work at the bank, I would still run into you on ocassion and you never failed to make me laugh! I will never forget you and the many laughs we had!! Always know that you were a true blessing on this earth and even more-so where you are now!

Our Friend Mark,

You will be truly and deeply missed. You started our days with a smile and the warm feelings of your thoughtfulness. We will miss you. We told you many times but maybe not nearly enough, you were a great friend, and a wonderful man. You made us smile and feel loved. No one can ever replace you. We will continue to look at the door waiting for you to come in and start our day. Our thoughts will be with you through eternity. Until we meet again. We know you will be looking down at us with your special smile and know that you left a void in our hearts and you will be truly missed more than you may ever know. We love you!!!!!!!

Beverly, I was so sorry to hear about Mark's death.My words seem so inadequate to express my sympathy. I wish I could help take away the pain and suffering you must be going through, but I know that is impossible right now. I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.I wish I could be there for you at this time but I was obligated to a mission week with our youth and I was unable to get there in time for the visitation. I am here for you and will contact you soon, with love Melia
