Dear Mark,

Just a note as you cross my mind ♪ been a couple of week's since I've posted in your bloggity-blog. Man, the memories, photo's, places, people that bring-up your name, still... who you were and will always be... so cool to hear, be reminded of.  You would love it; "the man, the myth, the legend". How can someone who physically died over thirteen years ago, still be so present in our daily lives?  The impression you made on us, like all dearly departed one's, remain locked-in tight. Those you shared special moments with or very simple, the best or funkiest of times, a little or a lot of life, love, laughter, music, so much goodness to hold on to.
Those days and nights somehow linger and surface easily like a flash-back in a movie.  
I come across various things with your name on it; Mom, your brothers and sisters, your children and Nancy still hold a part of you in their hearts. I see it and feel it.

Well, that's about it for now. As mom would say; "K.I.T.", Keep In Touch. We'll be on the look-out for  you. xo, me

poignant, loving, sweet. Mark hears and sees you and is proud of you too. You are and always have been a wonderful sister to him and all your sibs. In your reflection you will always see the other, how wonderful is that?

Mary,

I remember the two of you from our Sophomore year. I am so sorry for you and the loss of your beloved brother. I know how close you were and are. This site is a beatiful tribute to him. God Bless You. You are in my prayers.
