Mark Theodore Wyder

Dear Jan and children,

It is hard to believe that in a few days it will be one year since Mark’s earthly life came to a close and the path of grieving began as each one of you as you have been required to “go on living” without Mark. I am sorry for the loss and pain you have all experienced during this last year and previous to Mark’s passing. I applaud you as well for the way you have taken up this new kind of life assignment, trusting and hoping in God each day for the days that He has planned for you. My prayers are for your family today.

Love, Marion

Jan, I am so sorry. You have been such an example to me of a wonderful and loyal wife, mother and child of God. I will be praying that God comfort your heart and that he sends many now and in the future to comfort you.

Dear Jan,
I was so very sorry to hear about Mark. I had the privilege of working with Mark at IBM in Rochester and I have many fond memories of working with him. He was a truly caring person and I remember that whenever we spoke about our respective families, his love for you all was there in his face and voice. I hope that the many treasured memories of your life with Mark will be of comfort to you all. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Jan,
So sorry to hear of Mark's passing. My heart breaks for you and your family. I have missed you and have often thought of how you are doing. I am so happy your faith is strong and that you live with an eternal perspective. I pray that comforts you during this time. God Bless you all,
Jennifer Calhoun

Dear Jan,
I have many happy memories working with Mark on the Mayo Clinic account. As a fellow IBMer I remember his passion for the Twins when they won the world series! He once told me a tale of trimming trees with a chainsaw! I will always remember him for his zest and energy every moment of his life. My thoughts and prayers follow you on this lonesome journey...

To the Wyder family,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. It may seem like your time in Rochester was long ago, but our lives are so fleeting. Our prayers are for your comfort, knowing you WILL see Mark again.

Our deepest sympathies for your loss. Mark and I were co-workers at the IBM in Rochester and remember him as one of the good guys. best wishes

Dear Jan and kids....Mark was very special to me when we worked together in Rochester. His energy, attitude, creativity were amazing - and catching! Y'all moved to the Cities and we moved to California, without the opportunity to meet again, much to my sorrow. Mark made a positive difference in so many people's lives and left a footprint on my heart. Some day, knowing he is at peace will replace your heartache.

Dear Jan,
We are sorry for your loss of Mark. Our prayers are with you and your children during this difficult time. We met Mark only once, yet he is still in our minds.
Love, Tom & Tami Pollock

Jan and kids: We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband and father. May God be your comforter now and in the very sad and difficult days ahead. God bless you. With love, Ellen and Mike Dobies and family

To the family of Mark Wyder:

Please accept our sympathy for your loss. It was an honor to be with Mark during his final days. Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. May your memories bring you comfort.

Sincerely,

The Fairview Hospice Team

Jan, My heart hurts for your loss. Meeting you and Mark when I worked for IBM in Rochester in 1984 was such a blessing to me. You were both so lovely, clearly radiating Christ's love to everyone you met. Mark always watched out for me and I was grateful. While I know his faith was very important to him, I know his family was as well. His desk and cabinet had pictures of Teddy all over it when I met him, and then your daughters as you were blessed with them. We will pray for your family. While very comforting to know with assurance where Mark is, I know the time until we get there too will be difficult. I am grateful to have met you both when I did and I thank you for the impact you had on my life. God bless you, Kitty Liebeg (Doyle)

Jan, I only met you and Mark once when picking up my son Christian at your house, but I was so amazed at your joy and calm through all you were going through. Your faith is an inspiration. I will continue praying for you during the days ahead that the Lord will sustain you. God bless you and your children.

Our deepest sympathies go to your family at this time of sadness. We can take comfort and joy that Mark is with Christ. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Jan-

We did not know Mark, but heard of his great love of the LORD, even in the midst of his suffering. His faith has strengthened ours.

You and your family will be in our prayers.

Jan: I cannot think of the words to comfort your heart right now as this is such a loss to you, but I know that your strength is in the LORD. Please know that David & I are praying for you and your family.

Jan,
My deepest sympathy to you and your children in this time of loss. Mark was such a good man and had such a great attitude and sense of humor. I enjoyed getting to know you both during the time I helped with his treatment at North. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

The Wyder Family:
From the day that my Daughter Hannah shared with me about Marks limited time here with his loving family all I could do was pray everytime I thought of him and saw him on the soccer fields. He always had a smile on his face and you can tell he enjoyed watching his girls playing soccer. I will keep you all, in my prayers.

Our hearts are heavy at the news of Mark passing. May God be your comforter at this time. Our prayers are with you and your family, he will be truely missed. With our deepest sympathy and love,
Dave, Shelley, Libby, Megan, Jon & Courtney Shirley

Jan- Please know that we are praying for you and your family. What an example you and Mark have set for so many people - continuing to love, serve and praise the Lord in the most difficult of times. I pray that the Lord comforts you in all the ways and at all the times you need Him most.

Patty & Brad Merker Family

Dear Jan,
Please receive my deepest sympathy at this time of sorrow and grief. I am so sorry for your loss and for the days of family life that will not be because Mark is gone. I pray that your days ahead will be ones in which your hope found in Jesus Christ will bring about a new way of life that grows into all God has planned. Each of you are loved and in my prayers.
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His godly ones. Psalm 116:15

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Jan, Ted, Ali and Julia. Mark was an amazing warrior both FOR His Lord and when battling his cancer. We wish there was something that we could do to ease your pain and sorrow. We can't know all the pain that you are going through but the Lord does. We are praying that He will carry you through this difficult time. In His Love, Julie and Art Hill

Jan and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Mark! But, we know that he is dancing on streets of gold and absolutely adoring our Lord Jesus Christ! This is bittersweet, because we know that there is a huge hole in your lives. Please know that we are praying for you! May you feel the loving arms of Christ around you and may you experience His peace that passes all understanding! Hang onto that, during the difficult moments! We love you!

Love,

Judy and Tim Marks

You will be missed deeply within our families. My Uncle Mark taught me kindness, love, and most importantly how to laugh, enjoy life and family. I will cherish the moments we all had together especially our family water balloon fights in Bethany Beach. It was an honor to have you has my uncle. Thank you so much for all the wonderful memories, I love you...

You were one of a kind. You are deeply missed, as is your smiling face and humor. I will forever cherish the moments we all had together. I was so fortunate and honored to have had you as my Uncle. I love you.
