Dear Bentley Families,
Though 31 years has past since I first met Mark, words cannot express the sadness that I felt upon hearing of his passing.
I remember Mark for his love of Sunday basketball games with friends, his wonderful guitar playing and beautiful singing voice, he could make words pierce your soul when he sang. Mark is truly someone that I will always remember and think of fondly...

Dear Bentley Family,

You may not know or remember me but I grew up in Sylacauga. My brother Steve and I played baseball with with the boys. I've been living in Atlanta since 1985. I was speaking with my mother (Zadie) tonight and she informed of this terrible news. I will always remember your family and particularly Mark since we were closest age wise, with fond memories of a really great family.
Know that God is with you all, even at this very trying time. My families thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Faith, to you and your family, my heartfelt love and sympathy. May each of you find comfort knowing that you are in the thoughts and prayers of so many friends and loved ones. May the tears you shed offer you healing strength for the days and months to come. May your cherished memories remain forever.

God Bless,

Faith,

Dear Frank, Alan, David and family,
LC and I were so sad to hear about Mark. It seems like only yesterday we were watching and wondering what the boys would decide to do with their lives. They gave us many enjoyable times back in their "Comer" days. You all have been friends of a lifetime, and we will remember you in our prayers. Please tell Mark's wife and children how much he was loved back in Sylacauga!

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Mark was a great person and he will be missed.
