Markie, I just want to express my sympathy and reintroduce myself to you. I am Mary and was your Dad's cousin Wayne's first wife. We all met and worked together at Outdoor World. Wayne and your Dad were like brothers and when I came along we were three peas in a pod. He was a great man and loved you more than you will ever know. To Aunt Lorraine, I love you and miss you. When you get back east call so we can have some coffee and cry. To Mark Sr., thanks for everything and rest peacefully my friend.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

dad its markie i was just thinking about you i wanted to get some things off my chest.first i want to tell you that i am holding up ok and that i miss so much. When you pasted i didnt lose only my dad but my best friend in the whole world. i think of all the fun times that we had together going fishing, hunting even working together. we had alot of fun no matter how hard things were you were always there to make me smile and i will miss that. just so that you know i am trying my best to make all of your wishes come true. i know that you wouldnt want it any other way. Listen close to this remember how you told what you wanted me to do after you past you know the creek thing. well i got everyone together me, gina,chris,and tony i told them what you wanted and we are going to do it together. Dad i really miss you and i hope that you a comfortable now. please tell aunt gloria i miss her to. it is so hard for me to come home i keep picturing you sitting on the couch tell me that you wanted to play a game of cards. you know i know it was a tragedy when you lost your home but i look at like it was the best thing that could have happened to us. we spent more time together in the last 4 months then we have in a long time. I am glad that you got to know your grand daughter and spend alot of time with her before you had to go i think you made a big impact on her and see misses you so much. It was hard to tell her but now everything we go outside she waives to the sky and say "hi pappy you getting better" i hope that you can do me one favor just look over her when i am not around. Another thing i want to tell you is that you were my hero beleive it or not .no matter how many mistakes you no matter what happened in our lives you were the one who i looked up to. i think watching you go through what you did made me the man i am today and the person that i will live on to be. dad dont worry about anything that happened when you were here. i know you were depressed about alot of things but we are human and make mistakes. well you were the greatest person to ever live in my book and always will be. dad i love you and i miss you. i have so much more to write but i cant word it now. i will be back to talk to you soon. "hey looks like you glass is getting empty you better get a refill and while you are at it can you get me a pepsi" i miss you love Markie aka flatboy
