Please accept our deedest sympathy in the loss of your family member and our dear friend, Mark Ramsey.

I was one of his close friends in high school at Sanderson in Raleigh and have fond memories of traveling and spending time with Mark in the 70's and 80's. I was saddened to hear of his untimely death at such a young age. Mark was a young man who always made us smile, gave freely of himself to others, and could always be counted on to lift our spirits. He was a close friend to my wife and I when we were fisrt married and lived in Garner, NC. We spent many days 4 wheeling on Wake County back roads; he often visited us back when he drove the Blue Nissan 4x4 truck which replaced the Vega stationwagon of which he always was so very fond.

His bright countenance will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who knew him in this time of celebration of his life.
With warm regards,

Robert and Tess O'Neal

To Mark's Family... We are all so very sorry about your loss...at this time words don't seem to say what we are feeling inside...our family has suffered a loss recently of my brother, Phil, and even though he was sick, we were not prepared for how hard it is to lose someone you love...When we were going thru pictures recently for Phil, we came across a picture of Mark when he was about 3-4 yrs. Beautiful blonde little boy...Although some of us hardly know each other we are all still family and your loss is our loss... Carole, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers...Love, Cousin Susan
