I cannot verbalize how much I loved Mark,
nor how half my soul has died since he left this world. I had just talked to him on Sunday and he was feeling fine.... just kickin' back watchin' football. I am still in shock and devastation. But Mark would insist.... live your life to the possible fullest, then add some more.......so we all do honor to him by laughing instead of crying and that's what we must do. But right now it is so hard. Not a day goes by that I am not in tears thinking about the lost time, the hours we spent missing each other, and the hours we spent loving each other.
I pray that I will see him again in God's beautiful paradise.

Mark so much loved "his" paradise, his family, his friends, and everything life had to offer that was beautiful and fun; and he, like the Lord, was a creator of only good things..........and his friends appreciated and loved being a part of his world. We all miss him so much. And to his family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

The following poem was sent to me by a good friend and I wanted to share it with you all:

"Words are very futile things to send a grieving friend.......
they fall into an emptyness that only time will mend."

I miss Mark so very much, but he is still in my heart and he feels so very close to me. I thank him for that gift of love. My life has been truly blessed by the time we did share together. Don't let a day pass that you don't tell the ones you love how much you care about them. That day may be your last.

My love to all of you that loved Mark.............Chris
