C'mon Spring! | Here is an update from Linda Toney. Linda was lucky enough to speak to Marissa briefly when she called her.... Her son isn't quite grasping it - he's playing at a friend's and they offered to keep him as long as necessary. Mark was on a mission trip with 45 (I think) kids - and they watched this happen. Marissa's sister was there at her house, and I think she said her mom and dad. She said her church is helping and she thinks it'll hit her son when they "get Mark back". Mark has a history of heart disease/illness/problems in his family and she said their average age has been 48, but Mark's sister (I think) said it was typical of Mark to be ahead of things - he was 41 - same age as Marissa. |

Registered User | Continued prayers for all of those affected. The Lord takes his strongest 's when He needs them most. Unfortunately, the world has lost a good soul, loving husband, devoted father and all of the other wonderful things that this man undoubtedly was. |

Government Wife | I am so sorry...my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know that his presence will be missed by many.

Spring has sprung??? | Marissa, I am so sorry for your loss. Cannot even fathom what you are going through right now. I first read this thread last night and could not bring myself to write anything at that time, I was crying so hard. I don't know you personally but you seem like an amazing and strong person! Please take care and give yourself and your son a big hug from me. You are in my thoughts constantly today. Wishing you peace. Kelly |

questioning my sanity | I will need prayers to get through Sunday. It will be the first time the Youth and I see each other since their return (with exception of one that came by Sat afternoon w/ her mom to return Marks belongings.) Homecoming is always emotional, but this ... well I'll have my tissue box (or 2) next to me as well as hundreds of supportive arms. There are some wonderful pictures posted at www.oursaviors.net , you will see the stories and links right on the first page. Thanks everyone, God Bless you. Marissa |

David couldn't have asked for a better role model than Mark. Still thinking about you guys daily. Take care and remember you're not alone. |
