Another year passed on this earth without you. I know you are safe and loved in Heaven... time is so fleeting, and my belief, is that there is not time in Heaven, so you do not miss your loved ones. This is a blessing, as you are missed by so many here. Rest in Peace Mark.

Wow you have been gone 16 years. Miss you so much. Your little face was always smiling. I wish I could see your face in a dream. Been ill and want to be healthy. Feel so lonely at times. Send me a sign that all is well with you. Love forever, Mom

15 years today Mark you were taken from this earth too soon. Doesn't seem possible. You are missed every day here, but I know there are no timely boundaries set in Heaven. It will be but a moment before you connect with those here on this planet that miss you so. I know God is holding you in his hands.

Happy 48th birthday Mark. I know you don't grow old in Heaven, but I'm certain you still celebrate the day God graced us earthly people with your presence on this glorious day. I'll look for the star that is shining just a bit brighter tonight. God bless.

I'm so thankful that I was able to coach Mark in wrestling. He had so much enthusiasm and possessed his own unique style of engaging his opponents. And then, it was so rewarding to see him exhibit a desire to help other young athletes by investing his knowledge of the sport into their own lives.

Yesterday was the 13th year of your passing. Hard to believe that so many years has gone by. You are in my heart always. Took red roses to your gravesite yesterday and felt compelled to give a rose to a lady there. It was a good thing to do as she was hurting like myself. Someday we will see one another again, it will be a joyous day for sure. Love you my sweet boy.

OMG Today is the 11th anniversary of your passing. I cannot believe that it has been 11 years since I hugged you or heard your voice. It seems like yesterday that you were taken from this world and into another. I think of you so often Mark. You were so kind and loving to me. I am proud that you called me Mom. Love you so much now and forever.

I celebrate with others today the birth and life of Mark. It was an invaluable privilege for me to coach him in wrestling. He possessed a very unique and exciting style of competing and his determination was inspiring. His thoughtfulness became evident when, after our son Sterling began competing, Mark would come to events and show his support. While Mark didn't always talk a lot he was able to communicate very well what his thoughts were and his smile and sense of humor added a flare to his otherwise reserved demeanor. Yes, I loved Mark and I miss him as much. Happy Birthday.

Hello, my sweet son.
Today is the 44th anniversary of your birth. Seems like only yesterday that you came into this world unhappy and crying. What a beautiful face I saw. Loved you when I knew you were growing in my body and I knew from the beginning that you would be a boy. I still love you my darling and think about you so very often. Love forever, MOM.

Mark
You were like a little brother to me. You were always so stinkin cute and always fun to be around. As an adult I got the pleasure of knowing you more when you'd come to visit me at work I cherished those moments and when you were my escort at Melissa's wedding I was so happy cause I got to walk with my little brother I know that one day I'll get to walk with you again u til that day I keep a piece of you wrapped in my heart and cherish your memories for a lifetime. You were and are an amazing man God took you too soon but then he needed your sweet heart there more. Continue to shine down your light to your mom and sister so that they may always know your comfort. Keep the love flowing through so they can feel you every day. Until we meet again. Love always.

Sweetheart, I know that you were there to greet Mom as she crossed over to the other side. It was sad to have the head of our family leave us, but we did not want her to suffer in this life anymore. I know you gave her a kiss and she gave you a kiss for me. Love you then and love you still. Your loving Mother

Seems like only yesterday, and yet also seems like a lifetime since you passed into God's Kingdom. I know all is well with you, but you are missed by many here each day. Until we meet again, rest well my friend. Jeannie

It is with great sympathy that I only now express my sincere regrets. I have often and fondly thought of Mark after having missed seeing him periodically at local sports events. I coached him in wrestling at Franklin and Harlem and enjoyed his kindness and enthusiasm. I grieve for his loss and consider it to have been a great blessing to know him. My love and best regards to the family!

Hello Son, I have been thinking about your funeral. I am sorry that I did not bury you in a suit like your father wanted, for some reason in my sorrowful mind, I thought you would be uncomfortable. And I have to say that I did not like that story that your Uncle Austin gave to your dad regarding the dog and the closed door, It was awful. Now that I have put it in writing, perhaps I can forgive myself and let it go. Love forever. Mom

I remember Mark was one of my first friends, in a nearly brand new neighborhood. i was only 5. I remember running around the "neighborhood"(which consisted of 1 street and 2 half streets) together and playing, both of us barefoot many times. I don't have any specific memories but I remember having fun those couple summers. Then we started to grow up and I didn't see him much. I ran into him after high school. He was so nice. I am sure you were so proud of him. I am sorry you lost him too soon, but he will always be in your heart and always watching over you and Melissa. Hugs to you. Heather "McDaniel" Vrolyk

Mark,
Mom died on March 26, 2016. The only people in the room were myself, Melissa and Logan. She breathed her last quiet breath of air and passed on to be with the Lord. I am sure that you were there to greet her with a big hug and kiss. I know that when my time comes, you will meet me with love, kisses and hugs. Mom
PS Tears on my pillow and an ache in my heart.

Remembering you today with such love and sadness. You never got married or had children and I am so sorry that you never got to experience those beautiful events of life. We will see one another again some day and I can't wait to hold you in my arms and tell you how much I have missed you. I wish I had been a better Mom to you and Melissa. I gave you both things but in retrospect I wish I had given you both more of myself and my love. Mom

Melissa and I visited your grave and brought yellow roses, my favorite, on March 21, 2012.
I remember when you were 16 and working at Logli grocery store, and on my birthday you had B Sanfield deliver me 12 yellow roses. The cost was enormous and I was so shocked. You were so special and really loved me. You had such an open loving heart, but it was fragile too.
Miss you everyday, and cannot believe that 7 years has gone by. You always said when you were little that you would take care of me and in your own special way you have....I have a home of my own with no mortgage.
Love, Mom
