Dear Mark:
You know that I will always love you, and I will miss you terribly. We did have a lot of fun together, lots of good times as well as bad. But we always weathered those storms together, arriving safely on the other side. Please watch over all us. Keep your children, Tish, Keith and Christine safe. Very soon, Don and Carol and me will take you for one last fishing trip together. Now, no one will ever hurt you again.

Loyaulte me lie,

Maggie

Rest in peace Mark, you will be missed.
Love, Carla and Scott

Well Dad I thought we had more time. It still feels unreal that I can’t reach out to you. No more funny pictures or late night texts complaining about who can’t sleep or who hurts more. I know our story wasn’t typical, but I’d never change it for the world if it meant not having you in it while I did. I’ll carry things on from here. It’s your turn to rest – you deserve it. You passed on some tough stuff, i’m stronger because of you. In the end you gifted us girls each other and I thank you for more strong women in my life. I love you more than you’ll ever know. Hope you catch that dream fish in the sky.

Rest in peace. Love and peace Margaret, Tish, Keith and Christine.

Peace to you Mark and all the people you loved. Nothing but calm seas now. RITA

Mark, I will always remember you and the fun times with you and Margaret when I visited Florida or you came up to see Mom before she left us. Thank you for all the nice things you did for her. I wish you peace and happiness in the afterlife. Shine on.

-Anne

Sending love and condolences to Margaret and Keith, Tish and Christine. I will miss Mark sharing funny memes and videos and happy messages. Always unexpected and always made me smile. Rest I peace.

My condolences to Marks family. I only met you once but we were Facebook friends. I know you loved the kids by what you posted. Thanks for sharing with me Keith’s kayak adventures , you were so proud.
You will be missed

I’ve known you my whole life. When I think of you I remember -“Birdie birdie in the sky, why’d you do that to my eye?!” Picking Jenny and I up in your weird late 80’s neon truck from elementary school. Being part of the Allen family for decades. I am very sad that you are gone from this earth. I know you are still here in this universe but in much better place. Love you.

P.S.
no one will ever do a better impression of Donald Duck!

Hey Meatloaf,I hope it tastes better than anything. I loved every moment with you.Some things I love you you beyond all that .I know your here with me now and forever…Always love Jenny

Dear dear Mark,

You have embraced your everlasting peace long before I, we, were willing to let you go.

We connected through trauma and you engineered a platform to help others share their own pain, shock, and fear. You are a voice of hope, of loving connection, and we will never forget. Indeed we are forever grateful.

Your good works continue to unfold mercy, hope, and camaraderie, as well as answers to prevent future harm. Your legacy of hope and determination lives on, a beacon of twinkling light urging us forward.

We will miss you and will honor your work by picking up the baton and staying in the race.
Mahalo nui loa for all the love, laughter, and joy you you have shared with us. A hui hou….

Happy Father’s Day Dad. I have a card, a pen, and words I wish I could tell you. I have tears that begin to choke me, just at the thought of you never saying “what’s up”, or “cool beans”. I have a package sitting in my room containing art from April that she made for you on grandparents day. I pray that the Lord allows you to know my heart wherever you are. From the bottom of my heart and soul I want you to know that I love you 🙂

I am deeply saddened that you have left this earth so early and under such circumstances but I will cherish the recent drive by and conversations we had. You are blood. The years that you lived with our family, smoked the greatest fish and stole my favorite books was the best! Fly high my brother, you are free now although way too soon. We know the truth and you did too. With much love Your sister

Happy Birthday in heaven Daddy.
