Dad, You were an amazing father, grandfather and friend. You will be missed more than I could ever put into words, but Jesus has a wonderful addition to heaven. I love you, DAD!!!
You were a great father-inlaw..look forward to seeing you again someday…
Carolyn, we were sad to hear of the passing of Mark. We enjoyed seeing him at family gatherings. We will miss him. May the Lord Jesus comfort your and your family during this time.
Praying that the Lord is with the Fletcher family during this difficult time.
Dear Brother, I am going to miss our long phone calls from your home to mine. It was always great how you would end our phone calls with, “I love you and say hi to the family. I am sure you are singing with the angels in heaven. I love you little brother!
Amazing how I can still hear your loud booming voice not to mention your belly laugh! I remember growing up with you, dad and mom singing to the Gaither’s but my favorite memory will always be the peppermints in your pockets! Can’t ever eat one without thinking of you! Enjoy heaven and keep Zac in line for us! You are truly missed! PS. The loft is still not done for you so I hope heaven has a grand loft just for you! Love you bunches!
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of Mark’s family. It was truly a pleasure to have been a part of his life even if it was only for a short while. Knowing him truly made my life richer and more complete. He will be missed by all…especially his beautiful grandchildren. I regret not being able to attend.
Carolyn, Kelli, Shelli, and family,
Please know that you are being thought of in a very special way. Uncle Mark will truly be missed in our extended family. I’m so glad that he always made the effort to keep my Dad in line with his frequent phone calls.
Praying for you.

Yesterday I was told (by lots of people) that I was your favorite. Well I dont know if you know this but I loved as much as a grand daughter could ever love her grandpa.

Kudos to you! I hadn’t thouhgt of that!
