I wanted everyone who visits Mark's page that I lost my sister, Diana McBride, on January 3, 2022. She was Mark's most dedicated poster remembering his life among us. Rest now, Diana, with our family for eternity. All my love

Happy Birthday', Marky Boy! (remember how you used to call Daddy..Owen Boy...then I started calling him that too) :) Wish you were here..Ma probably would have fixed you a spaghetti dinner and had all the family over too! Miss all the good times!
One thought takes me back when all of us went to Ft. DeSoto. Crossed from the inland side over to the Gulf side. Out in waist deep water..fishing around with our feet and pulling up perfect sand dollars..sometimes thinking there was something else down there! Lots of happiness and laughter. Miss you so much..thinking you're not too far away!
Love you, Sis ♥

Hey Boy ... Very hard to believe it's been ten long years since that awful day when I got that phone call first thing in the morning from Jackie! I believe I was in shock for a few minutes..rambling on about things. I think about you and miss you every day...every day for the last ten years! Did I think about you every day before? Funny how the mind works! I've been reading all the nice comments from all your friends from your 360 page..they thought a lot about you and considered you a good friend. I wish you were here..it's not the same without you! Love you, Baby Brother...Always on my mind! ♥

Mark...So hard to believe nine years have already passed since you've been gone! As always, not a day goes by that I don't think of you..I could be crossing the bridge and catch a glimpse of a dolphinsmight hin going in and out of the water or think about you fishing off the bridge, driving down Bayshore and think of you up early in the morning cause you can't sleep and taking a walk, sitting out back on the patio and thinking about you sitting out there or fixing something on the grill, remembering that evening I campaign e over and you fixed stone crab claws for dinner (you were proud of them)..they were delicious, that one early morning walk I made across Gandy Trailbridge thinking of you with tears in my eyes when I noticed a small white feather following beside me close to the ground..it stopped and started, went a little ahead of me sometimes but followed me the whole three miles across..I know it was you, so many thoughts! I love you and miss you very much..With love, Sis

Happy Birthday, Markie Boy....Thinking about you on this beautiful day..a little breeze, a little coolness in the air.
Missing all the things we used to do to celebrate birthdays..family getting together for a nice dinner (maybe our favorite, spaghetti, with Ma's delicious homemade sauce), sitting outside for a while (maybe walking up to the park), presents, and birthday cake!
Always missing you, Mark, love you very much...Sis

Mark, 'MERRY CHRISTMAS'...This was your favorite time of the year! Christmas music, decorations, giving of gifts.
Remembering you on this special day..can see you walking up to Ma and Daddy's house, late of course, with gifts in hand and some food to add to the Christmas dinner. Remembering after dinner sitting outside on the lawn and swing and talking about everything that we could think of and laughing at everything.
Miss you baby brother..sure wish you were here but thinking you're probably close by.
Love you and miss you so much, Sis

Hey Boy...Hard to believe it's been eight years now since you've been gone! And in those eight years not a day hasn't gone by that I think of you. I miss you, baby brother. Today I was riding in my car and had music on..turned it up a little louder, which reminded me of the time I was at Ma's and heard really loud music coming from outside..looked at Ma and said 'Mark's here'! You sure loved your music. Love you always, Sis
April 18, 2015
Hey Mark,
Thought of you through out the day yesterday. Think of you often, miss you all the time. I still can hear your voice and laughter though, hope that never leaves me. Today, here on the rez we are getting rainstorms and thunderstorms, I love it!! Got a special little guy listening with me, my grandson Kaiden. He's more about his toys and his blanket. Always, always, always my friend, it's still a song. I miss you sweet man!!

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY', Marky Boy..Been thinking of you all day..telling you to go ahead and eat any kind of cake you want to! :)
Heard the Wanee Fest was this weekend..I'm sure you would have been doing lots of celebrating because its your birthday and because you would be watching and listening to all your favorite bands..in particular Allman Brothers, Government Mule, and Derek Trucks Band. I'm sure some of your friends are still missing you and wishing you were here to celebrate with them at the Wanee Fest!! I've been remembering when just the two of us went to Wanee in 2005..I knew it was a special time for us..thankful I was able to go with you..still have the Allman Brothers Tshirt I bought when we went!
Love you always, baby brother, miss you every day, Sis

Sending a belated 'HAPPY EASTER'..don't know how I could have forgotten! Even though the wishes didn't come on that day, you were in my thoughts.
As I was crossing Gandy Bridge the other day, I looked out over the water and thought of you..how you loved fishing and would sometimes go out at night to Gandy Bridge to fish and maybe try to catch some crabs.
Miss you baby brother..love you, Sis

Hey Boy,
Six years ago today we all woke up to the devastating news that you were gone! I'll never forget that day!
Never a day goes by you aren't in my thoughts. Sometimes you let me know in your own way you're still around. Don't worry that sometimes I get scared..I'd rather be scared than not feel your presence.. :)
Rest easy, baby brother. Love you always, Sis

Hi Dear brother and one of the best friend we ever had. We miss you and you are always in our hearts as well as pop and Ms. Mary. Sarah was in a car wreck and I feel you and her best friend Sami are watching over her. The wreck was a block away from where we lost Sami. I am happy to know you are up in heaven out of pain and taking care of us. We miss you dearly. I was going over pictures and found some of the red wood home which makes us happy to know Diane is living there just like you said you wanted her to have that home. I hope it brings her joy and I will send her the pictures so she can see what it looked like from pop and grandpa Strelow building it. You are bless and so are we just knowing and loving each other. Peace be with you in paradise sweet brother. Love you forever and will see you again. Love Robert, Chloe and Sarah

Hey Boy,
Think of you always and especially on this day..4 years ago its been since you've been gone.
Early one morning when I was walking along Bayshore and listening to some music, I remembered something you said to me one day..Late last night I went for a walk down by the river near my home..couldn't believe with my own eyes and I swear I'll never leave my home again..I saw a man walking on the water coming right at me from the other side calling out my name and saying 'do not be afraid'..feet begin to run, pounding in my brain..I don't want to go!
All your hurt and pain is gone now and you're brand new again. You're now and forever in the arms of everyone that loves you.
Love you always baby brother!
Love, Sis

Playing some of your Christmas CDs on this Christmas eve..brings my thoughts closer to you..remember when I stopped by for a visit during the holidays and you had that 'Dancing Santa' dancing and singing jazzy Christmas tunes..how cool that was.

Hi Mark,
Sorry we are a little late to wish you a great day and remember the good times. Our Thanksgiving was real hard this year. Our little Sami Harris was killed in a roll over down the street. I know you knew her she had her own bedroom here. 16 would of been 17 in Dec. Just seeing our child laying dead in the hosiptal has took a big piece of our hearts. She went with Robert and me to let little chi chi cross that rainbow bridge and cryed with me and 5 days later she was gone. I drive past the scene twice a day to work. I did see the best sunrise ever the other day and said a prayer for both of you. I know shes up there with you and has made heaven even nicer with her pretty smile that she always had. Well nothing is the same anymore. Sarah is dealing with this in her own way. Robert and me can't stand all the pain we have had losing our loved ones. Miss you and LOVE you always Chloe, Robert and Sarah
Diana Chappelle McBride
November 24, 2010
Hey Boy,
Just wanted to say 'HAPPY THANKSGIVING'..will miss spending the day with you.
Remembering Ma fixing the special 'sweet potato' for you..it was always huge but you had the appetite..everyone eating and talking all at once.
Things have quieted down (at least in my own heart) since you, Daddy, and Ma have been gone..guess it won't ever be quite the same.
Love you, boy..'HAPPY THANKSGIVING'..will be thinking of you..miss you lots..

It's Easter Day and you are on our minds. When I get to thinking of you of course I cry. I heard a song and I relate to it, I not crying for you I am crying for me. So play it sweet in Heaven thats where you want to be. I would rather you be here but I know you are with Mom and Dad and one day we all will see you and be happy and joyful that Christ fixed it up that way. We Love you and Miss you. Robert, Chloe and Sarah

Hey Boy,
Been a while..lots been going on..been very sad!
Wanted to say I love you and miss you lots.
There's these two hawks that have a nest nearby and perch themselves in the tree in the back yard..they're always around..wonder if you used to watch them too.
Thinking of you on this blessed day of Easter..'Happy Easter' baby brother.
Love, Sis

Hey Mark,
Been think'n bout ya lots, always miss ya. Went to see the Doobie Brothers last nite, thought of you. Was a guy sittin' in front of me doin' the dance of the caucasian, ya know the 1 I used to tease ya about, arms fly'n, legs fly'n, no rhythm whatsoever. Made me want to call you once again. I've been takin' Bub to bluzfests and concerts w/me. She got to see Gov't Mule, she loves Warren Haynes, my kinda gal indeed.
Anywhoz, juss really miss'n ya these days, I know it's the nice weather and the sound of those steel horses. And your voice and the comforting words ya always had, that will never leave me. Thank you for always being there for me, in a sense you still are. I still wear the Gov't Mule jacket ya gave me, it's a treasure!! I miss you!! *huggz* darlin'....Bren

My dear friend and brother we are so sorry for the loss of your mom. Mary was one of the kindest person we knew she and your dad let us into your family and I know they are at peace with you. You are on our minds. We feel bad for Diana, Steve and David and the kids. I am happy she got to see Sarahs picture before she left. All our love to you and the rest of the family. Robert, Chloe and Sarah

Hi Mark, sure did miss you today. We did'nt do anything. Christmas and the holidays arn't the same anymore. Sarah is out for the night and just Rob and me and all these critters. I did'nt get many cards out and the ones I did won't and did'nt get there on time. No tree just went down to the end of the street and had a hour with Skip and Linda. You are so much missed and loved. Love Robert, Chloe and Sarah

Hey Boy,
Well, it's Thanksgiving and it's a beautiful day...blue skies, sunshine, and a slight breeze.
And on this day to give thanks, I'm thankful to have been able to spend all the past years of Thanksgivings not only with you but with all our family.
Think about you always and love you very much.
Love, Sis

Hi Mark, dreamed about you last night. Robert woke me up this morning and I got mad he said whats wrong and I said I was having a dream about you and he messed it up. Lot of years spent having fun. Robert went fishing with Rusty and said he had wished you had been there. They caught over 50 groupers but only 3 keepers Sarah caught a red that was almost as big as her. Love and always think of you Chloe
