Happy Anniversary, Mark. Seventeen years ago today vowed to spend the rest of our lives together. We never dreamed that our time together would end so soon. I love you and miss you more than ever.

Your will alway be forever in my heart.

Hello Mark, I just wanted to let you know i was thinking about you but that is nothing new i do that daily. I am listening to the radio and of course one of the many songs you sang came on and all i could do was smile.. You really brought a lot of joy and happiness to my life.. I thank the LORD daily for letting us meet and spend the times we did together. We had some really good times I cant think of any that was bad but i can say some were better than others...I just wish you were still here so we could be laughing and joking like we always did.. Everytime i walk past your picture hanging up in my living room i just smile.. I know that i will see you again one day. Just going through life without you is hard. You really meant and still mean a lot to me.. That special place in my heart that I marked just for you no one will be able to touch.. Please keep watching over us as i know you do everyday.. I will write again soon. love and miss you so much

Mark,

Another bitter sweet day. Our baby girl is 16. I wish you could see her growing into such a beautiful young lady. She is like you in so many ways. I miss you so much today and every day.

You will be forever in my heart.

I love you.

I still vividly recall the moment I got the news: where I was, why I was doing and how life came to a sudden halt. Suddenly nothing was more important than going to see you and be with the HPD family.

From your untimely passing I've learned to do my best to ensure that my loved ones know how I feel about them and to not waste a day; to live life now.

Thank you for your friendship and the times we had together both good and bad.

Love you Mark.

Thinking of you and your family on this seventh anniversary of your tragic death. I am sure you have been missed every minute by those that love you. I share your parents' anguish in losing a beloved child which surely has to be life's greatest sorrow. Tour family remains in my heart's embrace.

Mark,

Drove from Beaufort down to Rincon to pick up Ryan & Emily yesterday. I couldn't hold back the tears as we started heading down 95. The pain is still the same as it was 7 years ago. I think I will stop by a Whiskey Hotel for some good chow and put on some Kuntry music in your honor. I love and miss you brother.

Mark, I knew from the moment I first saw you that there was something different, something special about you. You stood out from everyone around you. Some people are born for a special reason, I believe that you are one of them. You were only here with us for a short time, but you affected so many lives. You brought joy to everyone you met.

Thank you for teaching me how to love and to live life to the fullest. I know you are still watching over us. I never would have gotten through this if it wasn't for you. I still get strength from our love. Our time together was over too soon, but I am thankful for every minute of it.

I will love you and miss you always. You are forever in my heart and part of me.

Hello Son, Well here it is the eve of the 7th anniversary of your death. Your Dad and I are in Beaufort, we went to Deanna's house earlier to see the girls. Kayla and Taylor are doing fine, turning into fine young women. I know from speaking with Jordan that he is a wonderful young man. You would be very proud of your children, so sad that you can't be here to see how they are turning out.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you so very much. This grieving thing never really gets any easier. As I've said many times before, this hole in my heart is still very painful, the edges are a tad bit smoother in places.
We will be going to Hardeeville tomorrow to see your bench and your picture. We will also be going to the cemetery to visit your grave site tomorrow. I know it will be as difficult as ever, just seeing your name on the stone--makes everything so much more real.
Tomorrow night we are going to have dinner with Neil, Marcella, Deanna, Dave, and the girls. It will be nice to see Neil--your brother from another mother!!! Well I am getting a little wordy here, so I will close with-- I love you and miss you more than imaginable.
All my love,
Mom

Happy Thanksgiving Mark David, As usual you will be greatly missed over the holiday. These next few months are the hardest to get through. I only wish that we could still be making memories with you instead of remembering when. I love and miss you more than you could imagine.

Hey Mark, It's been yet another long while since I left a message. Sorry for that. Been through alot so been busy. But I always think about you. Specially when I'm in the area where I use to work. I miss how entertaining you were. You always made a day at work not so boring. It hurt alot when I heard what happened. Especially since that time I saw you as I was closing up while you driving up to make sure closed up safely, would have been the last. I hate it. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in case I don't make it on here to say it again. Prayers and thoughts to your family as I know it's hard on them during the holidays. I know how they feel. Specially since my dad died in 98 and now my mom this year. So I am wishing them a Happy Holidays as well and remember he's always here with us in spirit. Watching over us. Bless you all.
Your friend from GA and SC

Hey Mark wanted to stop by and say Thank you for serving our Country.... You always talked about your time in the Marines you were very proud of what you did... I miss you so much I cant begin to tell you how much. It is getting worse because of the holidays coming up. You loved to sing Christmas carols and even changing the song alittle..You would keep me laughing for hours and if that was not enough you would call me on my cell and sing some more.. I still think about the time you called me on my birthday at 5am none the less to sing even though you knew you would see me you said you wanted to be the first and that you were... Then you made sure you were at my job when I got there and sang on your loud speaker.. That was so sweet but funny you had me laughing at you all day.. But that was a great birthday gift.... Well my birthday is next month and I wish you could do it again but I know you will sing from Heaven.. I miss you so much and I really miss our good times we had but I do hold them times close to my heart and cherious ever second of them... Please keep watching over us as I knoiw you do daily.... Love and miss you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Buddy, Sorry I didn't get a chance to go online on Friday to wish you a Happy Birthday, but I was thinking about you that day more than most others. I remember so well the day you were born. Being the mother to you and your brothers has been by far my best job. Just wish I had you back again. Oh to turn back the years--I would stop time somewhere around 1983. Well, anyway Happy Belated Birthday to my #1 son. Ray had a beer with you Friday night!! I love and miss you.
