Gerrie,
I am so sorry about Mark. I didnt know him well but he said hello to me a couple of years ago and introduced himself. We talked about you and Chrissie. He was a really nice guy. I dont have children, as you know but from talking to mothers I know this is the worst pain a parent can share. Please know that I am thinking of you. Jean Halahan

Sue and family...
I had the honor of reconnecting with Mark on Facebook, and had the chance to talk with him on the phone in June. As always, he made me smile, made me laugh, and again touched me forever with his never ending humor in spite of it all. We will never forget him. Godspeed Mark, you will be dearly missed by all...
October 14, 2009
Sue and the entire Heinzelman family - we are so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember running wild with Mark when he and his parents lived next door to my grandparents, SO many years ago. Met up with Mark a couple years back and kept in touch, via facebook. Even in writing he could make you laugh! He will be deeply missed and our thoughts and prayers to all of you.

To Mark's family,
Words cannot describe what a fantastic person Mark was but I don't need to tell you that. It has been over 10 years since I had seen Mark but he was one of my dearest childhood friends.We had so many laughs listening to southern rock and playing air piano on the dash board of his Ford truck
"first on race day" he would say and Mike would say no it means "found on road dead". My thoughts and prays are with you all during this time of loss. You all now have an angel watching over you.
