Mark Johnston Guffey

I still can't believe he is gone, perhaps because he was bigger than life. He remains a constant in my prayers.

Mark was a great guy, we had very similar taste in music and I would often run into Mark at concerts. I miss that big warm freindly smile that always greeted me when we met.He will be on mymind as I go to my next concert. Enjoy that great concert in the heavens, my friend

My deepest sympathy goes out to all the family & friends during this time of loss. May God be with you and give you peace.

To Earl, Ann David, Steve, Andy and all Mark"s family, The Veltre family extends our deepest sympathies and condolances to you. Mark was a great guy and a good friend as are you all. Mark was one of the first business men to welcome me to White Oak 36 years ago and we have been friends since then. He will be missed and you all are in our pryers.

Sending our love and prayers to family and friends.

To all the Guffey family.So sorry for your loss though my relationship goes back to Jr. High some memories are as if they happened yesterday.

My sympathy to Mark's family especially Steve and Andy. He left me many memories of he and my husband Frank, and our children, sharing knowledge and merchandise over the years. His passing leaves not only a void in the family greenhouse business,but also in our hearts.

Mark loved his family more than anything. My thoughts and prayers goes out to his loved ones.

I am so sorry for you loss know i am think of each of you and my prayers are with each of you we worked a lot of years together if i can be of any help to you please contact me

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.
