Loving Memories of you Mark
We will never forget
Sadly missed along life's way
With silent thought and deep regret
We think of you every day
No longer in our lives to share
But in our hearts you're always there.

Always and forever Mom and Dad

In Loving Memory on your Birthday Son
Thinking of you today
Wishing you were here
Remembering you
With a mountain of love
And a Ocean full of tears.
Those we love don't go away
They walk beside us every day
Unseen, Unheard,
But always near
Still loved, Still missed
And very dear
Always and Forever
Mom and Dad

Happy Birthday In Heaven

Dear Mark
Happy Birthday up in Heaven
from your family here below.
We love you, and we miss you,
and want to let you know.

Your birthdays aren't
forgotten.
and your memory yet lives on.
We celebrate your life with us
even though you've gone.

Were God to grant us just one wish,
then make that wish come true,
you'd be here right beside us
and we'd spend this day with you.

And while here for your birthday
you would be so hugged and kissed
that you would know before you go
how much you're loved and missed.

Love Mom and Dad
Love Paul, Gabriela and Dominic
