Jen, Eliza and Elizabeth,
Mark was always kind and thoughtful to our family. I loved that we could have lively conversations about good cheeses, politics, religion, daughters and all his great stories. And he forgave me for breaking the spaghetti! It's still such a shock and immense loss. Please know that we are here for you. We will miss him. Susanna, Chris, Alison and Molly Barnett

I was so very sorry to hear of Mark's sudden passing. In just the short time I knew him you could tell how caring and loving a person he was to you and the girls. Please know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless

Dear Jen, Elizabeth, and Eliza,
Mark was a kind and caring person, who was full of love. He was always considerate and put others before himself. I'll always remember the many times he played Billy Joel around the pool and I would put 'Piano Man' on repeat just so I could sing along loudly. Mark would just smile. It is very hard to lose someone you love and if I can do anything to make you more comfortable, you know I am here for you.
Love,
Lizz Butler

Dear Jen, Elizabeth and Eliza,
Our prayers are with you during this time of sadness. Jen, your eulogy was so loving and carried such a beautiful message - we will always be touched by the stories of love and commitment that you shared with everyone. Elizabeth and Eliza, your parents have raised two very wonderful children - we are sure that your dad will always be with you and you will spread his kindness with everyone you meet.

Dear Jen, Elizabeth & Eliza,
Words cannot express the shock and grief we are all feeling but please know that you are not alone. Just as we have been together in so many wonderful times, we are also together in this time of sadness. Although painful right now, soon memories will bring you great comfort. Hold on to all those memories and find peace in them, knowing that you were loved and cherished.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Matthew 5:4
Mark was an extremely special person who has touched our lives forever. He will always be a part of us, the decisions we make, and the lives we lead.
In Love & Peace,

Dearest Jen, Eliza and Elizabeth,
There are no words to comfort you but I know that Mark's spirit is watching over you all. He loved you all so very much and had such a positive outlook on your futures. (Yes, even in Math!) He was truly a "gentle man" and always conducted himself as a gentleman. I have such fond memories, Eliza and Elizabeth, of sitting at the kitchen table while your dad quietly started dinner or watched television in the other room with Isabella. Jen, please know that I am always here for you all. Love, "Mrs B"

Jen, Eliza and Elizabeth,
Our hearts are heavy with the sadness of Mark's passing, and the knowledge that he cannot be replaced. However, the kind, gentle spirit that he was, and the thoughtful, caring ways that he shared lives on in the girls and in the memories that you shared.
Jen, the eulogy you gave, and the list of Mark's "Passions" gave us all a glimpse of other sides of Mark that we may not have known from our different relationships with him. I have been attending St. David's for over 25 years, and have NEVER seen the church so packed. This was a true testament to what a wonderful person Mark is.
Please call on us if you need anything, Stefanie and I would love to help if you need anything at all! Don't be shy!
With sympathy and warmest regards,

My dearest Jen, Eliza and Elizabeth,
My heart is so sad for you of Mark's passing. You were the loves of his life as you so eloquently shared with us at Saturday's service. Keeping Mark's simple "passions" of life through you, Eliza and Elizabeth and all his friends and family will keep his legacy alive. You continue to be in my prayers and thoughts. I'll give you a call in a few days. All my love...

Jen - I cannot express how heavy my heart is and how it aches for you and your girls. Had I had the strength to be part of a memorial service for another kind, caring, gentle man, I would have joined you on Saturday at St D's. Knowing Mark was such a pleasure and I will never forget all he gave to our church family. Keep your memories close and they'll grow --for "when someone we love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure." As one who has also lost a life's partner, I will be here for you whenever you call - and please do. Sharing does help so much.

I thanked her for ministering to you in your time of need and she extends her sympathies.

My first memory of Mark was baking a Blueberry Tart in Evette's kitchen, the first summer I arrived in the US. It was beautiful,as was all of his creations. I fondly remember all of our "family times" together and the way in which Mark always referred to me as "Miss Magor".
It was a priveledge to be able to introduce Barry to Mark on our Honeymoon, so that he too could appreciate and understand Mark's generosity, gentle humour and kindness.
Our thoughts are with you all.

Your eulogy was absolutely beautiful. It painted a vivid picture of a loving, warm, humorous, gentle husband, father, and friend. I know that you touched many lives in the congregation with your inspirational message. I also know that you will continue to find comfort from the magnitude and depth of your priceless "bracelet" of memories.
My heart goes out to you, Elizabeth and Eliza.

Dear Jen, Eliza, & Elizabeth - Although my Mark has spoken on our family's behalf, I truely felt I needed to add some words from my heart as well. I have been so very delighted to have met you through both our friendship, Alexis' friendship, and our church affiliation. You have all been such a great positive since our move to the neighborhood and joining St. Davids. Although it is painful that we lost such a Gentle, kind-hearted friend, I truely believe that God was in desparate need of one terrific Guardian Angel. I know that although he has left us in human form, he will NEVER leave us in his angelic form. He will protect you and the girls as if he were here.
Jen, your friendship has been invaluable these last seven years. No matter what, call on me ALWAYS in whatever you need!!!

Dear Jen & Family:
We were heartbroken when we heard the news -- as we had just spend a wondeful afternoon with all of you that was filled with laughter and reminiscing about the past less than a month ago. Markie was a kind and compassionate man, a wonderful father, husband, sibling and friend. There are not many people who have the loving and giving spirit that he does. We have loving and fond memories of times spent with him and we will miss him greatly.

Dear Jen, Eliza and Elizabeth
At times like this not much of what a person says is consoling. There will be a day when you will look back at these notes and know that your father/husband touched many lives. He was a kind, gentle, generous man. A quiet man he was a pleasure to talk with and always seemed to have time for the people who were important in his life. He knew what was essential in life, family, friends, good food, a good wine and time to enjoy them all. He loved you all very much. Thank you all for sharing him with us. Mark will be missed.

Dear Jen, Eliza and Elizabeth,
Just a few weeks ago, we enjoyed having Mark and all of you join us at the Carolina Fish Hatchery for a day of fishing with underpriviledged children from South Providence. As you know, along with his long-time friend, Dennis, Mark met us at McAuley Village and helped transport children from McAuley Village to the pond. For hours, Mark shared his casting techniques, baited hooks and untangled fishing lines. His caring nature, generous spirit and goodness of heart was so evident on that long, hot summer day.
Yet we were also impressed with the deep and caring bond he had with his daughters. It was evident that they, too, acquired a special love of his leisure time activity, fishing right along side him. Even Jen came by to share the day. We will send along the photos we have from this happy day.
God bless you and help you through these difficult days.

Mark Cicerone was truly a man's man. He was a great husband & father, appreciated Frank Sinatra, enjoyed fine wine & cigars, and understood most things in life in some way related to the Godfather. He was as much a part of the Jeffrey family as anyone. The seven Jeffrey children all have countless memories of Mark that we will tell our children & grandchildren about. Mark was always a giving person. He would spend hours w/ my father & mother, our grandmother & aunt, and never missed a family gathering. I will miss him very much.
Cousin Lisa and Family
July 29, 2007
Gen, Eliza and Elizabeth: Words cannot express what Mark meant not only to you, but to all who loved him. He was a devoted husband and father, son, brother, uncle, nephew and cousin. Mark was truly a generous and kind man, and I have fond memories of the times I spent with him in bygone days. A light has truly been extinguished here in this world; perhaps a brillant light has appeared in another. We love you; please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, and that we are here for you always.
