Hey Mark,

I know its been a while since I've left a relection, just wanted you to know that you were on my mind yesterday and everyday. I thought of you not being here for your father and the girls not being with you on Fathers Day. Yesterday Chuck and I went to see Ryan and the emotions that filled my seeing Chuck at Ryan's site made me think of you and your father. Although all our relationships are different I can only image the pain and emptiness that your father feels. Mark you are remembered and thought of everyday. Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and you are dearly missed. Wishing you a Happy Father's Day and you are remembered. Fondest thoughts and memories.

You will be remembered, forever in our hearts.
Your Friend Always,

Mark,

Happy Father's Day. I miss you so much. Each day that goes by I miss you more and more. Days like today are even harder. I can't begin to express the emptiness I feel with out you here with me. My life will never be the same without you.

Every time I look at the girls all I can think is how unfair it is to you and them. I think of all the milestones in their lives that you will miss. You would be so proud of them. As hard as this is for all of us, they are trying to live the way you taught them. They are trying to see the goods things in life (like laughter and joy) in spite of the pain of losing you. They talk about you every day. You are still very much a part of their lives. They will carry you with them always. Every time a look at them I see something that reminds me of you. Whether is their sense of humor or their mannerisms, I see you. They love you and miss you so much.

Mark, thank you for being the man you are. You taught me so much about myself. Everytime I feel myself starting to slip, you give me the strength to keep going.

I will love you and miss you always,

Mark David,
Although you and I had not had contact for many years, the news of your passing nearly 16 months ago was heartbreaking. I cried with your mom on the phone, and I am so sorry I could not be there in person to pay my last respects. Our paths crossed when we were young, but I will always be grateful to you for introducing me to your parents and brothers. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Please look up my brother there in Heaven with you and maybe you two can go hunting again together.

Cpl. Jones, just stopped by again to say hey. I know it's been 1.5 years since we got the news but on 06/01/2006 I applied with the hpd. All I saw were pictures of you. That means alot that no one has forgot about you. Last saturday I had a few beers with Lt. Martin, if you were anything like he is, I know there was never a dull moment around the p.d. He was awesome. The important thing is brother, the Hardeeville P.D. will never forget your sacrifice. not only the night you passed like a hero, but the way you lived as a father and as a fine officer that you will always be and that will be used to set standards of hardeeville as the city begins to boom. bless your family and your brothers in blue. Keep an eye out for us brother. see you soon.

Hi
What's up Marky Mark, I'm sorry it took me so long to write, but other then the loss of my father this by far has been the hardest thing that I have deal with. I cann't help but think of the times we shared at work, in the woods of hardeeville, in the snow of Boone, and just sitting around the fire at my house, having fun throwing horse shoes. To work with you was my pleasure, but the times we spent together with our family's and friends, these are the memories that I will hold onto and think about when I think of you. How about the time in Boone when we had the paper towel fight, and the attempt to slate ride down the hill that had vary little snow on it, the shared motel rooms where I got to lay there listening to you snore, the trip to Ohio, dog training, and the last hunting trip we shared, which produced your first Buck ( Good Job ). How about the time in Myrtle Beach, when me and Mac were shooting pool and you disappeared and the next thing we knew your on the stage sing " That was a good time " how about Hunnell kicking us out of motel room while he was in deep conversation with his wife, and then telling us that he could not go out with us " That was vary funny " BUT not as funny as the dance we witnessed when we stopped at the motel bar (We'll keep that to ourself). We had some good times the short time we knew each other thanks. Mark I hope you know that in my opinion you are what a Good Officer, Father, Husband, Son, Hunting Partner and all around frined should be made of. I wish you could be hear for the future and was able to share your dreams, goals and just be with us as we move forward. You are deeply missed and are always on the minds of Me, Tee, D.J, & Nikki. D.J. & Nikki keep your picture up in there rooms on the mirror, note books and in there memories.

Love you like a Brother, and miss you like one as well.

I think of your mother, father ,brother,Deanna,and your 3 children and i keep them in my thoughts and prayers and your fellow Officers with the Hardeeville police dept.

Hi daddy sorry I haven't typed to you it has been very difficult on me but I wrote something for you and I thought you would like it. Here it is:
My Dad is the Best Man
When will this pain die. When will my soul be set free.
When will I see the light of day again and enjoy myself with my friends and family.
I wis I could have him bcak.
I miss him so, oh why did he have to go?
My family needs him so much.
He was always there for me when I needed him.
Even though he's gone I know he will always be with me.
But I need him here to wipe away my tears and shelter me from my fears.
He is my gaurdian angel but what I need now is not an angel but my dad.
The man who always know how to make me smile even when I'm feeling the lowest that T've ever felt in my life.
A dad is one of the most valueble things in a girls life and one of mine is now gone.
Never to go fishing with me again.
Never to take on my first hunt.
But I guess he did what God sent him here to do.
My dad was the best man to love my mom, my brother, and me and to father my little sister Taylor.
A man like my dad is 1 in a million.
There's not many men out there like like him.
He may not be here for me and my familyin body,
But he is here in spirt.
He is my insperation, he is my muse.
So heres to you dad.
I won't mourn,
But celebrate your life.
If you see me crying those aren't tears of pain,
But tears of joy.
I'm celebrating all that you accomplished in youe life.
I will see again one day in the future.
I will feel your warming hugs, and hear your joyful laugh but until then good bye dad.
For I know I will see you again.
And remember I will always be your baby girlno matter what.
I love you dad and don't forget that.
Don't worry about the family we will be alright knowing you are looking down at us smiling and don't worry we won't fell any pain but we'll just smile back.

Daddy I will always be your baby girl!!!!

I love and miss you daddy

Love your daughter,

Happy Easter, Mark.

This is our second Easter without you. Sometimes it still doesn't seem possible. The kids and I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that we don't talk about all the things you used to do to make us laugh.

As I sit here looking at your picture I have so many things running through my mind to say to you. But somehow I just can't seem to put them into words. (I know you probably find that hard to believe.) I just keep thinking about how proud I am of you and how much I miss you. Life is not the same without you, but we are doing the best we can.

I love you and miss you more and more each day.

To Corporal Mark Jones and all his loved ones:

Please know that your memory is honored and revered today.

My heart goes out to your family. You’re in our thoughts and our prayers. I hope that our paths cross in D.C. To his parents, I share your agony of having lost a child in the line of duty. It is a horrific experience that no parent wants to endure, but somehow we must find the strength.

Mark, you rescued us, saved our possessions, our lives and our families. You are one of the rare heroes among us. You were always there for us in the most traumatic moments of our lives. No matter when we called, we just expected that you would come and do whatever it took to help us, and you always met our expectations. Your selflessness and dedication are awe-inspiring.

This world, this country, your community truly are better places because of you. To have lost you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.

Rest in Peace, Corporal Mark Jones.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Mark gave to his community and the citizens of South Carolina, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 27, 2005.
