Mark was a dear friend from middle school and high school. He was a great guy friend and always knew how to make me laugh. I hadn't talked to him in several years, but he remained in my thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to his family. I will be praying for all of you.

I have lost someone who was like the brother i never had. He was one of my best friends all through out middle and high school. The memories all come flooding back. I regret the fact that we had not stayed in touch after school. But that didnt change the fact that he was still my best friend. Im so sorry for the great loss the family has suffered. May God use this time of tragedy for His glory. I love you and will miss you Mark, my brother and best friend.

Mark was a dear old friend of mine from high school. I was shocked by the news of his passing. It wasnt long ago i had seen Chirs and Keith and asked how Mark was doing. He was a very funny and warm person. his smile is fresh as ever in my memory and he will be missed. God grant his family peace and comfort at this time.

Your son will be missed very much, not only a good friend a great shopping partner. His smile and boyish charm lit up any room he was in. Just to have someone to always talk to when you just needed a friend that was him... I am so sorry for your loss, and know that God got himself a very stylish and caring angel. We all loved him very much. God bless you and keep you .

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
