    I remember Mark as always having a smile on his face. It seems to me that even though he struggled physically, he always maintained that positive attitude. I know he had a host of friends, and family who adored him and will miss him terribly! God bless you all during this difficult time.

    We are so sorry for your loss. Mark was a nice man. Everytime we saw him he was always smiling and so friendly. Even through out school he always had such sweet personality. I know you will miss him. I pray the Lord will give you comfort during this time.

    Anita, Kiel, and Tammy: As if any words could express the extent of my grief, nor yours………I pray that you can find some solace when remembering and knowing that Mark lived to the fullest as possible. With every smile, hug, and joke he told to bring us all comfort when we needed it most. If anyone ever was able to shed light onto how one should live, laugh, and love….It was Mark! He was Strong, Kind, and Full of Heart ! No matter what was layed at his feet….He gave it his all! May I, and All heed his earnest account of life and how to live it………Many memories never to be forgotten………Bye, for now, Dear Friend!

    I am so sorry to hear of Mark’s death. He really was a fighter to go through all that he has gone through. I guess he gets his strength from you. You have been a blessing to him and I am sure he appreciated all the sacrifice and love that you showed him. I know that as a mother you only wanted the best for him and you gave him such good care. You are a wonderful person and he was too.

    I know you have a hole in your heart that will never completely heal up, but it will get a little easier as time goes by. Just lean on your daughter and your family, and your friends to help you in this very difficult time.

    I have been thinking of you every day, and I will continue to do so. If I can help you in any way, I will.

    May God put His loving arms around you and comfort you especially in the next few days. I will be praying for you and your family. God Bless You.

    Sincerely,
    Katie

    I was so saddened to hear of Mark’s passing. May God wrap his arms around you and comfort you during this time. Know that he was immensley comforted by the unwavering assurance that God was ultimately in complete control of everything and that he held his hand as he made his journey. If there is anything that I can do for either of you are your extended family, please let me know. Anita, I have known you for a long time and I know that you are strong and you will get through this in time.
