Pena family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. May God bless your family. I just found out of Mark's passing. Mark and I were schoolmates and later worked together at West Riverside Elementary. I later worked at a small market in Rubidoux and Mark would ask me to try and get him a job there. I lost contact with Mark after graduation but I always shared good times and fond memories of Mark. May you all have peace and loving memories of Mark.
Love, Ray V

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home.

To My Beloved Son,
Son, its very close to a year when god called you home, and there hasn't been a day that I don't think of you. I never thought that you were going to leave me so soon, but I know that your in a better place now, no more pain. I went through so much seeing you in pain & suffering, I felt every pain you had and it really hurt. I just read your letter you wrote to me and now I understand that you were ready for gods plan, I know that you are happy and content with your family & friends that have meant so much to you and god will continue to care for you & you feel no more pain, no more suffering. When you see me upset or crying I will remember your letter, I know now that you were a very strong person to be able to write me in all the pain you were going through and I will treasure it forever. I know that deep inside you will always be in my mind & my heart, and I have your children Gilbert, Michael, April, Rachel and Isabel, your brother and two sisters, nieces & nephews and most of all you grandchildren who you loved so much, they still remember you and miss you. I have all of them to remind me of you. I miss your joking, your smile and most of all you love. We all love you and miss you so very much and someday Jesus will call us to join you, so until then we love you and miss you very much.
Love your Mom

Helen, Stanley and family;
I was blessed to have this awesome man in my life for four years. He was my best friend who I loved dearly. He always put a smile on my face and was always making me laugh. We shared alot of good times together. He made me very happy. I really miss him but I know that he has become this little angel tht flies around watching over each and everyone of us. He will forever live in my heart.

To the Pena Family,
I am so sorry for the loss that you have had to endure. I had the pleasure of meeting Marcus :) through my mother Anna, whom he shared a reletionship with for over 2 years. The first time I met him, he was asking my permission to take my mom out on a date. He was one of the most kind hearted men I think I may ever meet. He would do anything for my mom and our family, and he did. He was a loving and unique individual. He was a man who all he ever wanted was happiness and I believe that he found that with my mom. Of course telling you what a wonderful person he was is something you already know, While I only had a couple of years to know him, you had his whole life. I can only thank him for being such a wonderful man to my mom and showing her that there is a man out there who is going to love her with all that he has as well as that it is ok to move on. In the end I believe that she found her best friend. Someone I know that she had been looking for, for a long time. I will forever be thankful to him for being such a wonderful and loving person to our family, but most of all to my mother! Through him I was able to become close with his two daughters that he has, and in many ways I consider them to be like sisters, no matter how close we may or may not be. I want to Thank you his family personally becasue you guys were so welcoming to out family in letting us in as part of your own. Mark thought the WORLD of each and every one of you, his family was his life!! I remember how excited he was when Gilbert was going to move in with him. He would not stop talking about how he could not wait to build a new bond with him, or the time when he found out that Aprils' first born was going to be a boy. All he could talk about was how Alex was going to be a boxer. He could not wait to see all of his grandchildren grow up. He loved you all very much and even though I am sure you all know that, I still have to tell you as the outsider looking in. Mark was a fighter and I know that he did the best that he could! Unfortunately, God told him that it was his time to move on to bigger and better things. I truly believe thathe is looking down on all of you, watching over you and will be there to guide you in the right direction if ever you may need him! He will be there when his daughters get marrried adn to watch every baseball game and boxing match, ballet reheral, school play, graduation, and he will be at every celebration with the family.This is all becasue he is going to live through each and every one of you, and that is because you hold him in the one place no one can ever take from you and that is your HEART!! Things may still be difficult but like with all things only time can heal. There will be good days and bad days but in the end what you have to look back on is that you were lucky to have such a wonderful son, dad, grandpa, uncle, and dear friend that was a part of your life and you will foever have those memories. May God Bless you
with love,
