Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Reading your reflections reminds me of meeting your wonderful parents at Parent's Retreat last year. They miss you as do the rest of your family. Our son Daniel died the same day but the year before. They miss you. I enjoyed the long talk I had with your dad. He is a kind man and very proud of you. You may not be here with us but you will always be remembered and missed. Thank you for serving. Rest well sir. God be with your family. May God give them comfort and peace.

Every year around this time, my heart starts to get heavy. I think about the anniversay of our wedding, that I will once again wake up alone to (if the Lord allows me to). July 14 will be the 8th annv of our day. Mark, I still miss you so much. Will I ever truly be happy again? There are times when I feel your spirit so intensely. I will always love you Boobie. I will see you in my dreams.

Every day a different memory of you puts a smile on my face. It warms my heart. One year ago today my father closed his eyes for the last time. I miss him so very much. It makes me happy to know that you guys are in heaven together. I pray that I make it there some day. I love you Mark and I always will, until I take my last breath. When you and I are reunited I will breath again. Love, Poobie.

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
that wasn't mine to keep
though I worked a lot of overtime
when the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
among the people here.
They never wanted me around
except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
for the judgment of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
you’ve born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
you’ve done your time in hell"

Just Listen to those words mark,and God is right,it's hell on earth down here i just look at all the bad things that are going on in the world today day in and day out and you are in a better place,can't wait to join you.

Hello mark,i hope you had a good b-day and a happy new year in heaven.Remember to save a seat for me ,you never know when my time is up,but im pretty sure you will remind GOD to call me home to be beside you.Let him know how close we are and tell him when you think my work is done here on earth. The only thing that really keeps me going now is my memories of you and my 2 children.you already new endyia ,but you never got to meet telly jr he is 2 going on 30,lol.he is just like you and i were when we were kids,he is a night owl ,stays up all night if you let him ,you know the way you and i did.I really miss you mark and there is not a day that goes by ,that i dont think of you.Oh yeah thanks for the angel you put on my desk at work during the christmas holidays.I asked all my co-workers who put it there on my desk,i thought it was a present from one of them,but after i thought for a minute,i knew you put it there and that was your way of telling me that everything will be ok and that you were close by and thats all i needed to know.I knew you were there with me ,but i had to have a sign.that angel you left on my desk was my sign.Continue to watch over me,

your cuz,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART,
I'm missing you so much in your physical form. I know that you are not gone from me, because you are in here in my heart, in spirit and in all my treasured priceless memories of us. It is those memories that keep me going. I love you Boobie.

Merry Christmas sweetheart. I know your's is truly a merry one, spending it with your big brother Jesus and our Father in heaven. Give my Daddy a big hug for me. We miss him very much. Christmas won't be the same without him. I know that I am blessed, but this time of year is just sad for me. I think about Christmas of 2000 when you proposed to me by the fireplace, after the sun had set. You were the first, last and most romantic man that I was with. I so miss all the sweet notes you used to leave in the car or on the bathroom mirror, all the cards, our quiet dinners together, playing with Dexter, our vacations to Atlanta or just driving across the bridge to Memphis to go walk in the park or drive through Harbor Town. I believe in my heart that one day we will be reunited and we will hold hands again and I will get to look into your beautiful eyes and know that once again I am truly loved. There is such a large hole in my heart that no one can fill except you. I know that hole is also in the hearts of your parents and your brother. None of us are the same without you here. But one day we will all be together again, The Carthrons. I love you baby. I miss you so much. Have a Merry Christmas, you and Daddy. I love you guys. Christmas really and truly is not Christmas without the ones you love.

I love you Mark. My heart longs for you day and night. I miss you. My heart and soul misses you. One day, one happy day we will be reunited. I cherish the memories of us. Hopefully one day I will be able to look at the video tapes of our wedding and honeymoon. The memory of your great smile warms my heart. There are so many things I miss about you. I love you with all my heart. It gets really lonely around the holidays without you. It's just not the same without you. It won't be the same without Daddy this year. I miss him very much. I hope the two of you have pleasant holidays in heaven this year. I love you baby.

To the family and loved ones of Corporal Mark Carthron, his fellow troopers of the Arkansas State Police, and most especially to Mark:

On this the third anniversary week of your tragic death, please know that you are honored and revered today and everyday.

From all the loving reflections left about you, especially from your loving and devoted Wife Angela, I can see that you were an amazing man and what a grievous loss your loved ones have endured because of your death.

May your spirit continue to soar and your memory continue to inspire. You are loved and missed by so many.

Rest in Peace, Mark. A body is but for a lifetime, but spirits and souls are for eternity and yours is forever part of those who call you beloved.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Mark gave to his community and the citizens of Arkansas, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 12, 2005.

Dear Mark, as I sit here writing this message, I'm forever reminded,just how precious, life really is. Although it's been three (3) years since your passing, it feels like yesterday.

Although your death was very painful for a lot of people,
"we" are constantly reminded that, God is the one who is in control.
