To the Yarbrough Family,
Words cannot begin to express the deep sense of loss that is enpowering me right now. I can only imagine the sense of loss that you must feel. Mark was the epithamy of a real man in every sense of the word. I often told him that I wanted to speak with his mom about marketing her child rearing skills because he truly should have been cloned.His smile could remove a tear from any eye. His mere presence could uplift the spirits of any broken soul. He was a kind, gentle and giving man. He was definately one of a kind! Mrs. Mary, you did a fantastic job! You raised a fantastic son. God is truly saying, Well done, my good and faithful servant, WELL DONE!
Mark, I love you, I miss you. You will forever be in my heart.

GOD SAW
God saw you were getting weary so He did what he thought was best. He came and stood beside you and whispered, Come and Rest, you gave no one a last farewell, not even a goodbye, You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. God saw the road was getting rough, the hills were hard to climb,He gently closed those loving eyes and whispered "PEACE BE THINE" The weary hours, the days of pain The sleepless night are passed The ever striving worn out frame Has found Sweet rest at LAST. Mark you was truly a kind hearted person didn't meet any strangers always had a GREAT BIG SMILE on your Face we will miss seeing you at Drury Inn & Suites Airport

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Sometimes after we have experienced a tragic loss, it seems as though our lives are forever shattered and there is no path to continue on. However, Joy will come in knowing that God will welcome Mark into His kingdom with open arms where other loved ones will welcome him with great joy! As much sorrow as myself and the RHS class of 88 feel in seeing him go, our joy is knowing that he is with God living his eternal life.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

To the Yarbrough Family, on behalf of Cecil Lawson and family we offer our sincere condolences to your family.
Mark was one of the kindest people a person could ever meet and know. He was consistently a jovial person all the time and such a joy to be with and around. We thank God for all of you giving us the opportunity to share in his light that shined so bright in our lives.
With you, we celebrate his life and the impartation into lives that Mark touched. We join forces with you celebrating all of the happy moments that Father God allowed us to experience and share with him. We pray your strength in the Lord and that you will hold all of the fond memories you have of him close in heart. Father God is awesome and while we will forever wonder why, know that HE never makes a mistake and Mark is resting in the bosom of Jesus making intercession for us all. Stand on the promises of God and find comfort in knowing that Mark's work here was done and God needed him most of all.
Our prayers are just an earmark away from the ears and heart of God trusting He will meet your every need during this time.
Live and Love life to the fullest as we learned from Mark through Father God. Continue to believe and receive the promises of God building a relationship with Him so that we too will make it to our final resting place as Mark has successfully done.
We love you as we love Mark. Peace and Love be unto you all!
