Dear Mr. & Mrs. Nocera & Family,

My parents still live in Woodbridge

and I was shocked when they gave me Mark's death notice.

I shared a study hall with Mark either our Jr. or Sr. Year.

(We graduated the same year)

He was always kind to me.

I am sorry for your loss.

God Bless You and your family.

Sincerely,

Vivian (Profita) Wood

Mark, We feel comfort knowing you are safe now. We feel good inside that you feel no pain or hurt and that you are in heaven with the angels looking down on all of us.



Selfishly, we will hurt for a while, but each day will get better and better. Plus we know that Anna Maria Halagao is showing you around and taking care of you =.)



We wish we spent more time with you and that we told you we loved you more. But deep down, we know you always knew how we felt about you. We also know how you felt about us, especially Brianna. Your eyes would light up everytime Bri Bri would come in the room. Your smile spread from ear to ear. And we will never forget the 1st time you held her and you cried because you were so happy. We are so glad you were able to meet her, know her and spend time with her.



It was a tough 2nd wedding anniversary for us, however, next year we have 2 things to celebrate on Sept. 29th. It will not only be our 3rd anniversary, but it will be your 1st anniversary to eternal life and happiness.



We love you more than anything. We miss you terribly. We look forward to being with you someday.



All our love always,

Joey, Amanda and Brianna
