Mark,
Well, It’s two years this past Sunday since your passing and you are thought of everyday by my family and friends. The laughter, smiles, and friendship you always gave will never be forgotten. I miss you the most and pray for you always.
We love you and miss you very much..
Joni, Jim, Samuel and Trinity.
Mrs. Davis, your son, Marilyn, and I were real close in high school at ACA and I am so sorry to hear about Mark’s death, but Marilyn has told me some wonderful moments in his life in the past two months. I know firsthand, having had an ex-husband, who had the same diagnosis, and it is hard to watch their struggle. Mark is not suffering anymore, and God knows his heart, and what he was dealing with here on earth. I am sorry I did not get a chance to see him again and share with him. He meant a lot to me, and I have thought about him from time to time through the years and wondered how he was doing. I will be at the funeral tomorrow.
Pat, I won’t be able to be at the service tomorrow, but please know my heart and prayers will be with you. You are such a special person and I regret not being there, but please know that I care. While I do not know the pain you bare now, my heart aches for you. With deepest sympathy and love, Iva Jean
Dear Pat & Family …. Losing Mark was one of the worst days of my life, I truly love him. My heart goes out to you, at least we have the knowledge that he came home to the love and acceptance he so desperately wanted, if only he could have found his peace here with us.
I share your sorrow,
Love,
Judi
