We are so sorry.

This is a very sad day for everyone who knew and loved Mark. RIP Friend, you are so very much missed
ReplyDeleteTo his family, my deepest and heartfelt sympothies. Myself and many others had the pleasure of working with Mark at American Ambulance, and are all shocked and saddened. His care-free attitude, joking personality, and strong friendship will be GREATLY missed.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you Mark! One of the best!!!!

Alicia - I cannot believe after all you've been through today that you actually read this blog. I love you so much and I miss him so much already. I miss knowing he's there. Please let us know what we can do for all of you. My heart is broken.
ReplyDeleteThis has been my 100th attempt to comment on the blog. Over and over I have stopped. I don't have any words that could ever justify the feelings I have. I am beyond sorry, beyond shock, beyond saddness. I am so grateful for our cousin nights, for the times we got to share and laugh and be together. I am sorry for the lose of a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, COUSIN, friend.
ReplyDeleteRIP Mark!
Love,
Patti
Your elegant but simple words say it all, and there is nothing I can add
ReplyDeleteto express my feelings of loosing a nephew that was loved by so many.
I love you Mark (my "little shit"), Rest now.
Love,
Aunt Bobbi
I am at a loss for words. I have not been able to get Mark's face, with those big eyes of his, out of my head. I am in shock as well. I too, am sooo grateful for our Cousin nights and the time we have been able to spend with each other laughing, joking and just getting to really know each other. My heart aches at his loss. I do believe he is in good hands now. Rest in peace dear cousin.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Teri
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
ReplyDeleteMark is in a better place...so long as Grandma Connie doesn't catch him first and try to scrub the dirt (dry skin!) from his neck!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Uncle Tony and Aunt Theresa can save him!! Grandpa Murph just wants him to get from in front of the TV!!

Well this blog has an alternative purpose...to bring the cousins together. I am deeply sorry that I haven't gotten my shit together to partake in a cousin night. I see how valuable they are in light of Mark's death. It sounds wonderful to have so many new and recent adult memories of Mark and all the cousins...young and old. I am moved by the love that my cousins share and continue to share. On a selfish note I am so tired of returning home to funerals...and that just tells me I have to return home for celebrations, parties, events, butter shaped lambs, sticky baskets made of bread, car rides with REO Speedwagon playing and everyone blaming me for farting....(now that was fun!) and oh yes....mixing up ALLLL the names of all my young cousins (can we all please wear name tags?)
ReplyDeleteIt can feel so weird being far away. It seems as if everyone and everything just remains the same as when I left many years ago. I am continually touched by the kindness and love I feel when I see and talk to my cousins.
Mark's death still seems totally unreal and since I won't be back there for this funeral it will probably continue to feel unreal for a very long time. I love what everyone has said above. I am hoping to see you all this summer in July. That is my plan. Much love to Mark, Tracy, Alicia (thanks for listening to my pathetic blather on the phone), Jimmy and Aunt MJ and Uncle Teddy and all the kids.
