Sweetheart, daily I am still wondering why you had to leave me. I'm happy that you are with Jesus, but my heart longs for you so. I miss you Boobie. This time of the year is very sad for me. I know I am not alone, but I am so lonely for you. I love you Boobie, always and forever.

Though I didn't know him, Mark seemed like a nice guy. My daddy worked wit hhim for 8 years and was always giving me nice reports on everybody at his work. When he died I couldn't believe that such a well known and loved police officer could go through such pain. This message is for his wife. I had always heard amazing things and your husband sounded like an amazing man. Thanks for listening!!!

Love, A friends daughter

Sweetheart, I have been in court for a couple of days sitting through the jury selection for the driver of the stolen vehicle that was charged with capital murder involving your accident. It was hard for me to sit there, but I'm trying to be strong. Witnesses will be called Wednesday. Boobie, whenever I get weak, I close my eyes and I hear you telling me, you can do this Poobie. I know you are there with me in spirit. I still wake up each morning loving and missing you so much. I go to bed at night loving and missing you just as much, knowing that if the Lord allows me to see another day, it will one more day closer to seeing you. I long for that day. My family and friends don't like for me to talk like that, but that's the way I feel. Nothing and no one on this earth can ever take your place in my heart or my life (not even close). I wish we were together right now (on earth or in heaven). I love you baby.
Always, your Pooh Bear

Often I recall the days that we met at the local Mapco for an afternoon soda to reflect what was going on during our shifts. I'm sorry I was not on duty that faithful day because you know I and my Officers would have done everything possible to help as we always have in the past. It will always be an honor for me to have known you Mark.

Well, Sept. 12th is here one year that Mark has been gone. Is it easlier NO! I know Angela you miss him so much and it's hard because he is not here physically with you, but he has never left you in spirit. The Angela I see now is totally different than the Angela one year ago on Sept.12th, 2005. You are stronger than ever and you are living the life Mark wished for you. I think you are so special because Mark lived and died trying to make you happy. Your his queen! There are not many women that is blessed to have a man that GOD himself created to be just for them. Some women will never experience having someone that God creat just for them. Sometimes, Angela when I'm having a bad day,you always seem to call me at work or home, it's like you know! You always say something to just make my day! Sometimes it's when you are screaming at me for something or telling me what I should be doing! There have been times where we have had to hold each other up. But... there has never been a time that you have not been there for me! I know you have delt with Marks death everyday, going through things no one could begin to understand, but...you have found time to be there for so many people. now!!! that's something!!!! You see Angela Mark is still here working! He is in you continuing to be loving and kind to everyone. You should be so proud of him and his life.This is why I know without a second thought God created Mark for you, "HE" had to give Mark to someone who would carry on Marks mission and passion in this life. I love you my sister. You will alway hold a special place in my heart 4 ever!!!

Best Friends 4 life!!

I did not get to work with you very long. The time I did work with you I found that you love the job and your family. I will always remember you when I am putting on the uniform. To your family Mark is never gone for he is with us all our days. He looks over us in everything we do.

As I woke up on the morning of 9-11-06, I felt so all alone. I had a sick nervous feeling in my stomach all day. As the day went on, I tried to stay as busy as I could but it didn't help. It has been a year since you left me and all those who love you. I have been reliving 9-11-05 in my mind all day; kissing you before I left for church that Sunday as you lay in bed; coming home afer church and sitting on your lap at the computer as I often did; talking to you in the bathroom as you dressed for work; and kissing and hugging you a couple of minutes before 4 p.m. as you left for work. Oh I wish I could go back to that very moment and never let you go. The love we had for each other is embedded in my heart forever. I thank God for the time that he allowed us to have together here on earth and I live for and look forward to being reunited with you in heaven. Today I celebrate your life and the love we had for each other (the love that I will always have for you). Sweetheart, you touched so many lives. You were an angel here on earth and now you are my guadian angel in heaven. This past year has not been by any means, but I made only by the grace of God and I know that He will continue to strengthen me. I miss you so very much and it hurts. I wake up each morning with you on my mind and I go to bed at night with you on my mind and your picture in my arms. When I take my last breath, I will be loving and missing you. I love you Boobie with all my heart. Mark & Angela 4ever!!!!

It will be one year since your tour of duty ended and I know this first anniversary will be hard on those that love you dearly. You are a true hero and heroes never die so you will always be remembered. Keep watch over your loved ones and wrap your wings around them to help relieve them of some of their grief.

It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since you left us. The only thing that we remember is that crazy smile and the we act so crazy whenever we all was together (vince,carma, mark and angela). That crazy smile is what we want to remember, not the saddnes of your death. You were so much more than that! On this day we are not going to remember your death,but we will celebrate your life. We will remember how important you ARE to us, and...how you impacted our lives everyday. We will strive to be better people because of you and the loving friendship we all shared. Carma and I will always have you in our hearts and our hearts will never let you go. I know you are making traffic stops in heaven!!! FRIENDS FOR LIFE

Sweetheart, I love you with all my heart. The pain of missing you is unbearable at times until I remember where my strength comes from. Without God, I wouldn't have the will to live and go on. This week is hard for me, coming up to the first anniversary since you left me to be with the Lord. I have been to your final resting place several times over the last few weeks. It is still so hard to believe that you are not here. I'm still sleeping with your picture in my chest. Mark, I know I have made decisions over the last 11 months or so that have either upset or made some people angry, but I can't let that worry me. I know above all else how much you loved me and how much we loved each other, nothing else matters to me. My goal is to live my life (forever loving and missing you) the way God wants me to and someday get into Heaven to be with you. The memories we made in the 5 years, 6 months and 28 days that we were together are forever stored in my heart and mind and no one can take that away from me. I love you so much Boobie and I always will.
