MEMORIAL DAY 2010
My Dear Mark, just wanted to remind you (and everyone else too) that I'm still here and I love and miss you with all my heart and soul!

July 27th 2010. I Cant believe how much we've all grown, i look at ictures of just a year ago and were all so much more mature. And wow your Grandsons are just the absolute cutest, Anthony took some time warming up to me but he came around once i gave him popsicles haha but Marky Jr is just precious, you must be so proud of Joylene and everyone. We love and miss you very much. God bless.

Dear Mark, It's hard to believe that it's been 4 years now and yet sometimes it seems like forever because I miss you so much! Anyway, I didn't make it to Sunset Memorial today, like I usually do on this date and your birthday every year, but you know that I still think of you all the time!

Love, Cathy XOXO, 21 August 2010

5 years gone by Dad, not a day gone by that your not on my mind. I never want to loose my memories of you, I tell the boys about you all the time, I just wish they could see for them selves. I hear alomost everyday from grandma and aunty Dora how much they look and act like you, especially Mark and Noah. I think Noah has alot of you in him :) I love you dad, I love you and miss you so much.

Wow Mark! Life has changed so much. So many gone... blessed with so many. For whatever reason you've been visiting me in my dreams I've enjoyed every moment. Down to mom and I now?? but so many little people to remind her how good life is. Even if she's stuck here in Denver. I can't help but to think about what life would have been like to grow old with you guys. Love you brother?? till next time??

Hi Mark! Today is 16 years since you passed away & you'd have just turned 59 years old in June. I still think of you often with lots of love for you & some wonderful memories too! This has been such a terribly rough year I cant even believe it!! I had ovarian cancer & thought I was going to die but miraculously I beat it!!! My fiance Bob also got cancer (laryngeal) & also beat it, but just a few months later in July, he died anyway from a stroke & heart failure even though it seemed like God wanted us to stick around together since we had to deal with so much & it was so hard but we came through it alright...we felt like we had more living to do & then suddenly he's gone!!! So again I'm devastated & heartbroken!!! I lost you, then Mike & now Bob & we were together over 8 years...
Doesnt seem fair but I know you guys are all in a much better place!!! I'm comforted some by that & am grateful to have loved so much & so deeply!!! Thanks for that love always!! Xoxo

Hi Mark,
I just renewed your online memorial for another year so I stopped to write a note since it's almost your birthday & wanted to wish you a happy one! So happy heavenly birthday!! Not sure but I think it's #60, I will check. But I know its almost 17 years now since you've gone!!! Still love & miss you a lot! I see some of your family still pop in every once in awhile...hope they will continue to do so always!!!
Love Cathy xoxo

CATHY, 15 June 2023

Yes it is your birthday # 60!!! Too bad you're not here so we could celebrate some getting old together!!
Oh well someday probably in the fairly near future, we will meet again!!! xoxo

CATHY, 15 June 2023

Hi Mark…yesterday was the 17th anniversary of your death so I had to stop in & say Hi & I can’t believe all the years that have gone by! Still think of you often with love & joy! Miss you too!! God blessed me greatly with your love & friendship!!! And with Bob & Mike’s love too I have been more fortunate than most to have so much love, just wish it didn’t have to end so abruptly on this earth!!! Until we do meet again…in the eternal life ahead!!! XOXOXO

CATHY, 20 August 2023

I forgot to write the date in that last message, which is: August 20th, 2023
