Thinking amazing thoughts of you today. Every tear is salty. I know you´ll be there for your Angie´s wedding as you were there for your grandsons birth. I pray I can face our challenges with the same grace and humor you did. BTW you are coming to Portugal...

June 3, 2011
Sometimes I don't realize exactly how much I miss you until I realize that I talk like you were never gone. Every memory I have its like it happened yesterday and it defiantly didn't. Wish there could have been more memories but the ones I have I cherish with every moment when I remember them. I will keep recalling them just so I don't ever forget.

Mark,
I placed an entry for your birthday but they did not put it in because I wrote the whole "happy Birthday" song out. I guess there's a copywrite on it !!! Hah...that's sooo funny. It cracked me up and I can see you smiling at me, nudging me with your elbow and saying "you can't do that dumby" !!! So I guess I can wish you happy birthday, Merry Christmas and wishes for the new year to be merry. I Love you, I miss you!! Miki

Well, well wouldn't you just be tickled to find out Sue has met someone (which you probably knew) and she seems truly happier than she has been since John. I know you would appreciate this since you were very close and she had a lot to do with making you feel loved, secure and comfortable in your last weeks with us. She also followed out your wishes pretty much spot on so hopefully with all that she has done for others this is her time, full circle.
Think of you often and miss ya even more. Love you always...

Hi Mark,
Happy Birthday!
NO...The turkey is not for you!
It's Thanksgiving!
I am thankfull for all the years I did have with you, I miss you dearly and
I feel that you were taken too young but I also feel that we almost lost you back when you were ten , but you hung in there and had two BEAUTIFUL children that we can all enjoy from now until we meet again.
Thank you! I miss you. I love you!
Miki

You know I haven't wrote in here for a while and I just wanted to say daddy I really miss you some days. Some days I wish I could run up to you and hug you and say I love you over and over again. I wish for you to met Ryan my new boyfriend I think you really would have liked him. I always looked for you and moms approval and I just want to know what you think of him. My thinks he is a good guy but I want to know what my daddy would say. He went to Fort Foster and everyone met him and I wished you could have been there. Grammy gave him her approval and so did everyone else but I wish I could here it from you. I miss you a lot and I am a Senior now! I am finally gonna graduate. Your little girl is finally almost all grown up. I decided to change my course of career I have decided to be a ASL interpreter instead of a graphic designer. I guess I am writing here to fill you in on everything but you can see me all the time so you already know..haha I just really miss you and wish you were here. I love you daddy.
Michelene Langlois
July 27, 2008
Fort Foster was fun but something was missing...YOU !!!!!
I miss your jokes when I'm at family functions...I always sat next to you for that reason...you were always sooo funny!!! I really miss you!
The girls stayed with me. Tom and Melissa and had a blast...ya did good with them...they are such GREAT kids and Dee is doing good too, so you can rest in peace and I'm sure your there helping!! Love you...Miki
July 19, 2008
You know they say everything gets easier with time, I think it means you just learn to adapt differently in time...Been some days I really would have loved to have been able to talk with you, about the girls, life, just things....maybe you have heard it from where you are...there have been a few angels that fly in and out when I feel the most lost. Some know it, and some don't even realize it,,,but their words, calls or actions are just enough to say, damn it girl Mark is listening, he's sending you positive messages!
Think you would be surprised at how well Miki and I get along LOL, she has been a trip let me tell ya!! Of course having known Andi most of my life, I am thankful for her as well....you left behind an imprint, in many people, you are in your girls in many ways, and in many hearts and thoughts....I still talk to you, so keep listening and I will listen too.... I miss you Mark...

Hi, I guess I got my wish..I went to see Dee and help her out with a vehicle last night and she gave me some of your ashes so now you ARE here with us. I miss you so much but I feel so close to you when I'm around Dee and the girls. I love seeing them grow and deal with things, they don't have it easy but they have each other and they smile all the time and make the best of things. It's not all about what you don't have anyways---it's about what you do have and what you give to others and you gave us a lot that's why you'll always be sadly missed ! I Love You big Bro! Hey---I got a tattoo...(I can hear you laughing) ! Love, Miki
Miki
June 18, 2008
Your girls are getting so big. Saturday was fun, Amanada graduated. I could here you laughing at that cake, wasn't it so cool. Dee is doing a great job. Wish you were here. I Love you.
Amanda Cobin
June 16, 2008
Hey daddy i graduated! YAY! I wish you could have been there to hug me like mum did afterward, but i know that you were watching. I had a party not much of the family came... which was kinda sad. Grammy sent em a funny card and auntie miki came but other wise nothing else . Fathers day came and went and it was sad but i suppose youve got to push through. All i can do i think that your proud and watching over me and ange.
I LOVE YOU DADDY!

Hey......
I couldn't sign this on the 13th because I guess I just can't seem to accept the fact that your gone! I think about you every day especially when I see Dee or the girls and on special days(if you want to call them that). I miss you sooooo..much and we wish you were here for Melissa's 16th!!! We sang Happy Birthday and got silly, Joey was here, which made her day.He was sooo funny and it made me think of how much YOU always made us laugh on those special occasion. I miss your jokes!!! God I miss you! Your girls are doing remarkably well.(notice the word "mark" is in that word) I believe you can take credit for some of that! Keep looking out for them because it's working!!!! (and they know your there). Well I babbled enough, I know how much you love when I go on!!!! Love you always, your sister, Michelene

Mark, It's been 2 years today and it doesn't get any easier. Your presence is still strong, but you live on in your girls and hopefully one day (not too soon) one of them will have a little Mark that will have that same twinkle in his eye and zest for life that you had.
We love you and miss you,

Hey daddy! I miss you. Turkey day was okay not alot of people over just Us and Mamie.
Your Birthday went by and i don't know how everyone did with that but no one feel apart here. That i think i mostly cause no one talked about it... We all knew it was that day but no one said anything.
thing's have been crazy lately English is killing me. It drives me insane that i can do it. I try and try but its just way to hard. Other then that schools okay.
Miss you alot you know... I miss going to see you on the weekends.

Happy Turkey Day! We spent the day just hanging out with Steph & the baby. Hannah knows who you are. We have shown her pictures of you and she always wants to kiss the jar that we have and when we say where is uncle Mark? she points right at the picture or the jar. Well we miss you so much although you're probably right here with us and we just can't sense it.
Love you

I saw you in a dream the other night and you were with us again but your face was swollen and ruddy. Though it was unspoken you didn't seem so happy. For me having your presence again was awesome... it was so good to be near you but something was missing. When I woke I knew it was light within you that was missing, as if your spirit had been broken. It dawned on me that this is what it would've been like for you if you had surgery and survived. I realized you weren't taken from us, you were spared from that. No more sadness for why you aren't with us only a bittersweet thanks for having known you while we could and for the memories of your true shining spirit the way you would've wanted to be remembered.
I love you always, see you in my dreams.
Your sister

First I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I know it is a bit late but I couldn't bring myself to say it sooner. I have a job now at EB Games. You would have loved the 15% off everything in the store :) lol. I miss you a lot! I had fun on thanksgiving but I couldn't help but feel a little empty with out you there makeing you jokes or smiling and hugging everyone. I miss that the most I can't hug you or joke with you. My birthday has past. Sweet Sixteen... I guess that had an empty spot too... don't get me wrong I had a blast and I loved every minute of it but nothing can ever replace you comeing up and hugging me saying HAppy Birthday Ange... In a way I am jelous mandi got you at her sweet sixteen but glad she got to have you there.
Mandi got into a crash awhile back and there was no way you didn't help her. There was no way for her to come out the way she did with out you there. When I ofund out that a you were in the car(Nott you in person but in your jar.) I couldn't help but picture you being like gandolf(excuse me if I miss spelled it. I can't spell...I blame you dad lol) and standing there and saying "You shall not pass" It made me laugh when I thought about it.
There are a lot of things that make me miss you even more. I think about you a lot and you will always be in my heart...I love you and I hope that you are happy were ever you are.
Love,
Angie

Hey Daddy so your Birthdays passed adn we missed you greatly. Ange made everyone cry or maybe it was just me but still there was tears. And my accident im sure you were there cause even mom said that theres no way that you werent there with me to save me. I try hard not to cry anda sometimes i think i dont think about you enough but i think thats cause i try to keep busy so i dont cry. Cause i know taht one weekend if im not busy i'll wonder when your coming to pick us up to go to your house for movies and laughs. I know your no longer in pain but i can't help but think why why would god take yopu from us. I relize yes there probaally was a reason but still. You were loved and cared about and still are so why.
I'm rambling on and on when really all i want to say is i miss you adn i love you so much. I wish that you could have been here on thanksgiving and anges birthday. Yes i knwo you were but not in body but in spirt. All teh same though i wish i coudl hug you.
Im over stacey so i got to say bye so we can go eat ice cream adn talk baout stuff by the way she says HI DADDY!!! and jumps up adn down. lol shes a nut case. Well Love you BYe
(yes i know theres a ton of type-os but i dont feel like fixing it all)

Mark,
Happy birthday! Strange how last year at this time we never stopped to think if any of us would be here to celebrate another holiday. It is just taken for granted. But nothing in life should be taken for granted and we need to hold on to each day as if it might be our last so the ones around us know how much they are loved and appreciated.
Wish you were here so I could give you a big hug. Happy birthday.
Love Robyn
November 22, 2006
Happy Birthday 11/23 and Thanksgiving too... huh!
Funny we never made a big deal of it before but I guess it will be a bit of a haunting now. In life you were frozen at 43 and, ironically, 43 stands for LOVE YOU in some abridged language. I wish it were so very different and you had longer to be with us but I know quality of life was ever so important and that wasn't working out so well... you would've hated it and so, I suppose, you were spared. I am still so proud of how you handled it all, amazed really. And so now your new job is to continue watching over us as you have already proven you are with your daughters and such. What a good, playful Dad you were and a goof ball of a brother - thank you so much!
Wish you were here...

Mark,
Here it is November and your brother and I have moved to Seabrook Beach. He said you and he always talked about renting a place on the beach. What we plan on doing is placing some of you on the beach at low tide so when the ocean comes up you will be there always and you will have a permanent residence here. It's still hard for Rob to talk about you and he still can't look at pictures but time will heal that I hope. You are missed & thought about every day. Love you

Happy Holloween Mark! Still thinking of you all the time. I've got your ashes in my dining room. My father is thinking about dropping some of your ashes at Seabrook Beach. It's really pretty.
Love you--

Hi Mark...
Miss you.
I think about you every day...still
It is hard to think that your gone.
Halloween is in a few days and I know how much you loved it.Each time I go by a house all decorated I think of your place in Dracut...you were so good at it.
Miss you...
Your birthday is on Thanksgiving this year...next month.
We will all get together and think of you.
You loved Thanksgiving, I loved sitting next to you on holidays (it kept me thin) I laughed more than I ate!!!
Miss you..............
Until we meet again, I love you.
Love, your sis, Miki

Guess what???? You are now hanging out in the Grand Canyon!! woohoo!!! Steve & I brought (some of) you and tossed you to the wind off of Bright Angel Trail in a great scenic overlook with a fantastic view of the canyon - seemed like the apropos place. You are always on our minds especially when we know how much you would've enjoyed these adventures yourself. We will forever have you in our thoughts wherever our travels take us and imagine you are with us. Next? Back to Italy with another part of you and, yes, you will be tossed in the ol' Colosseum!! So practice your Italian.
Love you and miss you ever so much, you are always in my and our family's heart(s). Hope you get this somehow...

Dear Daddy,
I am in school now I have been for a few weeks now. Sophmore year isn't that hard so far though A level biology is fun! I am taking Germen 98 baby lol. I guess I have always had a good time learning new laugages considering I can sing in Japanese. So Germen isn't all that hard although Mr.Hopper wants me to spell in Germam and I can barly spell in english hahaha.... Yeah, Sign Lauguage YEar three might be approved. I am hoping because I could be in the Sign language hall of fame if I pass with a 88% or better.
I still am horrible in english....YEah Thats not doing good.HEHE... I am still reading as much a I always do I think I have issuse lol. But thats okay at least I am my self. I am going to anime con this year and finding a way for it to be cheap for mom and be able to have a lot of speanding money. I need a job lol. I have been saying that for a long time now huh... Working on when I turn 16 I will have a job!
I get to make my own costumes again. YAY ! thats fun I am tring to make three this year. It will be fun and I might not get them all done but what can you do. I really wish you were here for anime con last year my costume came out really good for working on it for a week lol .
I am a procrastinator(may be spelled wrong hehe proves my point for earlyer). I really want to start on my costumes now but I have no money yet so I hhave to wait for a job. Isn't great that everything cost money these days I just wish It was a little cheaper...I don't like the money struggles people go through. Its not fun and not right.
I can only hope and try to make it easier. Then again I need a job to help by being able to buy myu own things. I miss you alot daddy. I miss the weekends going out to eat and to the movies. The laughs we had playing vido games for hours on end. To who knows what hours of the night. I guess I still spead a lot of time on the computer. Its a habit lol. Thank you Daddy for making me a comp. geek. But I am glad I am because if I wasn't what carrer options would I have!
Thanksgiving is coming,your b-day, mandis b-day-my sweet sixteen and christams ...I will miss you a lot a lot alot on those days it just won't be the same. The hotel in maine the gold fish and Grammy yelling at aunt sue for me throwing stuff at her. That was so much fun. HAlloween won't be the same either... You loved halloween. Dressing up scaring the crap out of everyone who tried to get candy! It was great. I hope I can have a lot of fun this halloween I am going a Lasta(spelt wrong I know it) from Inteveiw with a vampire.
Well always missing you
Daddy's little girl woith lots of love,

Yo bro,
Planted a Rose of Sharon right where I saw you last and placing some of your ashes there. Beautiful, large white blooms - I believe you would approve. I needed someplace solid where I can connect with you.
Miss you too much... but I bet you already know that...
Love,

Camping
Daddy your last wishes came true...
You flew into the lake and took a dive...
The lake you fished and kayaked in...
The sun setting so beautifully in everyway
The setting sun reminding me of you...
The moon reminded me of the campfire stories...
THe moon shineing so bright above us...me
Feeling you watching us and being with us...
You starting the frie when the sun was rising...
Walking out of the tent and see you cooking breakfast...
Having you smile at us doing this...
"Good morning sunshine you'd always say...
As I mumbled good morning back...
See you laugh over jokes we all made...
Looking at your happiness in your eyes being were you loved to be...
Your favorite place,you escape...
You will always be here camping too...
Drinking a killens near the fire,,,
Just like always....
Love you
Daddy's little girl,
Angela

We were close as kids. We grew apart when we all ‘grew up’.
When things got bad for you, you finally took me up on my offer to move in.
I am soooo glad you did. Even though you could drive me crazy, I will never regret that decision.
All those years apart and we still had so much in common.
The East Kingston memories:
Shopping at Walmart and thinking the same things were cool
Buttered pasta, saltines and milk, microwave popcorn. (And loving the fact that it made Rob’s coffee smell like it after we popped some!)
Your incredible talent for cooking – I am so jealous!
Your talent for home improvement: kitchen cabinets, bathroom Jacuzzi surround, etc, etc
The same love for Christmas. Talking me into everyone coming here last year.
Spending HOURS on those computer games – you were so proud
Forever the dreamer -
The times in Maine:
Mom never camped before – antifreeze on the teeth & bleach on the skin …her running out of water.
Again, saltines and milk!
You and the girls picking the colors for the house! What would I have done without you all?
Fraggle rock, the bat on my back (which you wanted to catch)!
Building an outhouse that was going to look better than some apartments!
Your LOVE of kayaking, fishing and camping – the great outdoorsman!
The hospital:
EVERYONE loving you. The nurses, the respiratory staff, the counselors.
Your genuine personality showed even when you were sick.
The comedy and the eternal optimism.
Love you Mark and miss you dearly.

Hey Daddy,
I really miss you a lot and I hope your having fun were you are. I hope your pain is gone too. I also hope your wastching over each and everyone of us. I guess you can say that you'll miss my sweet sixteen but then again you will also be with me. I passed all my classes and I am going to be a sophmore next year. I know you are proud of me you always have been. I guess I really miss talking to you about this kind of stuff. I just wish you could see my accoplish and all the things I have done. I have been hanging out wityh my friends a lot latly. They have been great but nothing ever beats the times I have had with you. Watching movies, playing poker, and just hanging out. You were more to me then just my Dad you were like a really close friend. So I guess I have lost two people in a sense...if you understand what I am saying. Well lets see we had a fathers day at Auntie Andreas and a toast of killians for you. Also we went camping with Mom anbd her old friends. I learned how to play smoke on the water on the guitar. Iw ish you could learn how to play with me like we said we might have done. It is had with each passing day not to say this to you in person. I miss you more then you will ever know and it will only get greater. I will miss you more and more as the years go by each birthday,holiday, and all the special occasions in between will be hard with out you by my side. I have Mom and she is great I love her a lot ,but as much as I love mom she can't be you. I love mom we have great times.(I love you Mommy and I always will don't ever forget that) I guess I am just still ajusting to you not being there and so is everyone else. You were our family,friend, or even a second father to some people. I just wish you were here by my side like old times. I saw some of the movies you wanted to see. X-men three was a great movie and so was pirates of trhe carrbian two you would have loved them. Well I guess you did see the but there is nothing better then laughing with you when some parts were funny or talking about how the movie was after wards. MAndi is going to be seventeen soon. Mandi is soon going to be all grown up and out of the house at collage. I guess I will be too. It kind of amazing how quickly thing pop up huh? Or how fast you seem to have grown. I still can't belive I'm going tro be a sophmore this year. Your little girl is growing up. Haha.. You always wanted us to grow-up and look I'm getting there. Even through all of the hard times that are here and now and through the ones to come. I guess right now you being gone is the hardest thing I think I can ever go through.(other then losing mom or any family memeber)Well I hope you are doing good where ever you are. I love you with all my heart.
Your little girl,
Angela

The sun doesn't shine as bright as it used to,
The skies don't seem as blue
There are many things that lost there glow, including you....
Daddy you shined as bright as a star,
You glowed like the moon,
You shined with humor,
You glowed with laughter,
You shined love & happiness,
You glowed with fatherhood,
You shined of all the good times,
You still glowed when things got bad,
You fought as long as you could,
Then your shine began to fade,
Then the glow seemed to fade.
You still were happy when you smiled,
You were still you, but your glow that you had to me seemed to fade...
Now that it is gone, well it isnt'really gone,
The glow you had is still in me,
The shine you had is still in me,
The glow you had is still in everyone,
They shine you had is still in everyone,
You're still here in each and everyon of us
We just miss the you wwe could hug,
The you we could joke with,
The you that made me and mandi who we are today.
The you we could kiss on the cheek,
The you everyone went to visit,
The you we played poker with,(Grammy, Rita, Mandi and I....good times!)
The you who pushed us when we thought we couldn't do it.
The you I rollerbladed with,
The you everone misses, but I know,
You're still here,
In the trees, grass and lake,
In the wind, rain, and sunshine,
In the stars, moon and planets,
You are there I can feel you,
I just can't reach out and hug you,
No,...but I hope to see you again
(not anytime soon) but when my time comes I'll have someone there to greet me.
To greet everyone who passes on,
I hope you make them as comfortable
as you made us feel I love you Daddy, I always will
I hope that with whatever happens we will always have our family to fall back on in an emergancy or just to talk.....

I'm sure Mark has people up in heaven roaring with humor. I can picture him popping his head out of a hole in a cloud and saying "I should have taken a left at Albuquerque!"
Being his brother, and sharing the same bedroom as kids, I feel a bit selfish here because I got the best of him. Young, not a care in the world, brave in his actions, caring in his thoughts, and an imagination that could make our bedroom a portal into anywhere we wanted to go.
we had flying cars, invincible bodies, unlimited armor and weapons (usually sticks and squirtguns etc.), could move things with our minds, you name it.... we could do it.
dying was supposed to be for other people though.
Time and time again he beat the odds in life. I really thought this was just another thing we had to get through.
His energy isn't lost within me, it's been redirected though. I can no longer visit him as a person on earth, but he is still here to me physically, within the family we shared together and some people he knew.
I can look forward to running into people he knew who can make a connection to him and seeing more of the family that we shared together to re-assure me that he is still alive and well .
He lives within all of us.
I look forward to seeing him again in the afterlife if thats how it goes.
Love you Mark.........see you then
p.s. Your off the hook for not calling me on my birthday xoxo

Mark,
Your brother Bob's birthday has passed without you here to celebrate it with him and I know it hurts him immensely to know that you aren't here. I wish you were but wishes are just that.. wishes. Can't change the past, only look to tomorrow and move on with our lives. Noone says "anything I can do let me know" anymore. Almost as if time makes them forget that someone you love is gone. Well we will never forget and you will always live on in our minds and hearts. Love you

Dear Mark,
Seems the skys have been raining ever since you've been gone…
You are now resting your weary soul and left us to go on
and though I am relieved you are no longer in pain
my sorrow is deeper than the floods from the rain.
I cannot believe how much of a void now exists
and that the only thing left is for you to be missed.
And missed you are every day, and in every hour
I miss your presence and I miss hearing your laughter
And every now and then when a ray of sunshine comes through…
I wonder if you know that the warmth of the sun reminds me of you.
I wonder if, while on earth, you knew of all the light that you gave
and how I pray every day your life and death was not in vain…
…that your soul is complete now and you know why we remain.
Seems the skys have been raining ever since you've been gone…

I know that you live on in my heart and the hearts of so many others...You touched a lot of people while you were here and you will continue to touch mine until we meet again. I miss you!!!!!

We met Mark through our friend Lois. I always told him he looked like Kirk Douglas. I would call him Kirk when I saw him.....I just found out today through Frank Lawson that mark passed away. Our sympathies to all of Mark's family and especially to Lois and Lois and Mark's mom. I just can't believe this......Just hold on....We will all see Mark someday. Love Pam and Larry, North Chelmsford, MA
