DAD
If I had my life to do over,
I’d have chosen you to be my dad
once more.
Even if it meant losing you again,
It’s worth all the tears in the
world.
You were my sunshine when skies
were gray.
I loved you and honored you;
You took all my tears away.
I was happy to be with you,
Proud to be your little girl.
Sometimes we would argue,
But to me you meant the world.
Your love was always pure;
You treated me as your own.
Your time seemed all too short and
I feel so alone.
What can I take from this?
My heart is completely crushed.
But nothing loved is ever lost -
And you are loved so much.
ALWAYS MISSING YOU
YOUR DAUGHTER
DUCK

It's never easy for those left behind but when you lose someone so senselessly and unexpectedly many share in your sorrow, we all feel the shock, may it help to know how many share in your sorrow, & stand with you in your time of need. You are in our thoughts & prayers today & always. May your memories bring you comfort in the difficult days to come. Love, Tami & Julia

god,works in mysterious ways.they say the older i get the more i truly believe this is true.i meet mark though a matual friend;i was just 13 years old.who would have thought that meeting would become 25 years worth of whirlwind experiences together.needless to say we never had a dull moment and together we shared the births of our two beautiful daughters.it created an incredible unbreakable bond between us that no one to this day can explain.even as our lifes were going in two different directions both of us moving on and finding happinessin other relationships.we still remained close.we grew to love the others partner,we became not only friends but, a family unit.i also have two handsome sons that mark adored.he played a big part in their lives as well.he never missed a baseball game of michaels.i know this season the stands will feel so empty without buddy mark cheering him on. 0ur relationship through the years evolved into a wonderful genuine friendship that i will forever cherish.we both knew if one of us needed something we could always count on the other to do it.it may sound strange but,mark wasn't only the father of my children, he was a sense of security.through the years he played every role at different times of my life. he was my friend,sound board,confidant,father,brother,and the one i could depend on even if he knew i was wrong,he would be there for me no matter what.ther aren't many people in the world these days that you could honestly say that about.i'm so happy that i was able to experience that sense of security with him.not a day passed by without a phone call.whether we would be talking about gossip,the kids or just because.and i can't tell you how much i'm going to miss those precious moments.the last 5 years he finally just started really enjoying his life.he and kayleen just got engaged last year.they started traveling and were even in the process of building a new house for a brand new life together.i'm sorry that was taken away from him and her so quickly before,they were able to enjoy each other as man and wife.sometimes we don,t have the answers for why things happenthe way they do.i know that without mark keeping me grounded i would have been a lost soul.he helped me grow more then he will ever know and for that i'll be forever grateful............. love,dawn
