to angel mark you will be in heaven this christmas season celebrating with our angels in heaven. Send some of your angel dust down to your family and let them know you are close. Sammy loved Christmas it was his favorite time of year. You, Sammy, Dom and Luke put all your strength together and send us your angel dust from heaven so we know that you are beside us as we celebrate the season.
To Mark's mom, family and friends hoping you all a safe and happy holiday season during this very emotional time of year. God Bless.

So sorry to Marks family who didn't have that choice...Much Love from Leonardo New Jersey..Peace be with You! Close
I remember days when Mark would come over things just seemed to get better with each passing second. We use to hang out at each others homes till 4 or 5 am and make each other laugh. Mark was always there for anyone that needed a friend. Even if he was busy he would always find the time to lend a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on. Mark and I spend a short time together, and I can only thank GOD for bringing him to each and every one of us. I think about Mark every day and remember how he use to make everything better with his bright personallity and shining attitude. He was never a negative person and I miss having someone like that in my life.

Time heals a little / I. Know Your Pain I know your pain all to well my friend commited suicide 22 years ago I love him so much & I still visit his grave alot. he was a troubled teen things were not bad enough for him to do what he did but that was his choice and noone knew of his plans so how could we stop him? we couldn't I know that now but as a teen I carried alot of guilt..It wasn't anyones fault suicide is a diesese just like cancer and if you dont get help you dont get cured so you die and so many people wont get help for many reasons! So I send you strength I made it Im now 43yrs young and can't wait til I reunite with my friend!Close

To angel Mark and his family and friends -
For Mark on his 21st birth-date / Mom Happy 21st Birthday to Mark!!!!
Words can't express our wish - that you were here to celebrate.
Today is Mark's 21st birth date. In order to make it through this day, I am trying to concentrate on the day he was born. I am remembering the joy, love and dreams I had for him on that day. He came into the world quickly and before his due date, and he left quickly and before we think he should have. When Mark was a baby I would sing "Baby of Mine" to him, and can't think of a more appropriate song for him on the date of his birth - even if it's terribly sad.
"But you're so precious to me, sweet as can be, baby of mine."
I am praying for us to have a peaceful and gentle day -with our memories of Mark, his birth date and birthdays.

Happy Birthday Mark / Pam Mattingly (Heather's Frined )
Heather, I remember the day that Mark was born and the hours that we (almost the whole office) sat with you while you were in labor waiting to go to the hospital! It was a good thing you went when you did because that little rascal was ready to make his escape and as I recall came into this world in a really big hurry.
Now, as I write this I wish that I could sit with you for a few hours and celebrate Mark's life with you and just hold your hand as you labor over understanding all that has happened. There is no greater loss than the loss of a child, anyone can tell you that. I don't think that your loss is more substancial, but I do believe that the events surrounding your loss make it more difficult to understand, to come to grips with and to bear.
Honey I pray for you often and I know that you will be OK, so today just look to the Heavens and send your little boy one of your beautiful smiles.

To Mark on his birthday / Dan, Sherri, And The Kids (Brother and family )
I miss you on your birthday, Not only for your smile, I'm in an empty hallway And have been for awhile.
Gazing inwardly towards home, Neither here nor there. But for the piece of me that's gone, Left within your care.
How quickly we've turned distant! The weeks pass by like years. How imprecise the instant Held hostage by my tears!
21 years old today, A million miles apart. Though Time may seem insatiable, I have you in my heart.
We miss you so. / Heather (Mom) Silent Cries" Author Unknown
There are times in my life when my heart cries out so loud for you That I cringe, wondering what others might think and Then I realize That only I can hear the screams. They are a part of me like the blood rushing through my veins and the breath leaving my lungs.
I understand / Connie ((sammy's aunt) )
To Mark's family - I came upon this website as my nephew also has a website dedicated to him. His name is Sammy and he chose to end his life on June 21, 2003. He was 19 years old. My nephew was energetic, athletic and showed no signs of suicide. He was my nephew, my godson and next to my 2 children the apple of my eye and I did not see any signs. It wasn't until after he passed that we found his suicide notes where he explained how sad he was and how much pain he was in. The loss of Mark this beautiful young man pains me the same way it pained me when my nephew chose to end his life. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

One Small Star / Mom For Mark One Small Star John MCDermott.
When I need to feel you near me I stand in this quiet space, The silver lights of countless stars fall upon my face Though they all burn so brightly some how it comforts me to know That some who burn the brightest died an eternity ago.
But your light still shines It's one small star to guide me And to help me hold back the dark Your light still shines in my heart
I'm learning how to live without you and I never thought I could And even how to smile again I never thought I would And to cherish your hearts memories that can bring you back tonight Some caress me gently and some cut me like a knife.
But your light still shines It's one small star to guide me And to help me hold back the dark Your light still shines in my heart
And your soul will be out there somewhere beyond the infinity of time I guess you've found some answers now I'll have to wait for mine And when my light joins with yours one dear we'll shine through time and space And one day fall on a distant place upon some strangers face ..
But your light still shines It's one small star to guide me And to help me hold back the dark Your light still shines in my heart

Song Lyrics ~ The Man You've Become / Sherri R. (SIL)
THE MAN YOU’VE BECOME
Big wheels, hot wheels Little trucks and cars Skinned knees, climbing trees Wishing on the stars Moments may be lost somewhere in time But the sweetest memories are never left behind Now you’ve grown so fine And come so far…
CHORUS I’m so proud of who you are The man you’ve become Thrilled to share your deepest joy To know you’ve found the one For the great things you will do I’ll be blessed ‘cause you’re my son But I’ll always see the boy In the man you’ve become
School days, sleep-aways Driving all alone Phone calls, shopping malls Late coming home It was hard to know when to let you spread your wings When to let you got to face the challenges life brings But you’ve grown so fine And come so far…
