Leigh Ann, Colby, Conner & family, my heartfelt condolences to you all. Mark was a wonderful person. I know how much he cared about his family. He always spoke so proudly about you all. He was a great coworker & a great friend. He was just such a kind & awesome guy. I know he will be greatly missed. We all know he is in a better place, no more sickness, no more pain. We will miss him, but we are all blessed to have known him & we know he has a beautiful place in his Heavenly Home. Love & prayers for you all.

Dear Leigh Ann, Betty, Lewis, Kim, and family, I was so sad to learn of your great loss and unable to convey my love for you all at the memorial service since we are out of town. I have many precious memories of Mark (and Leigh Ann and Kim and Betty) at WCHS as a special, dear student in math class and am glad we had met in more recent times, probably at a funeral at Ebenezer. Every time I drive by your homeplace on 501 I look out and think of "my" dear Francis friends of long ago. I love you and am thankful for you folks who have meant so much to my life in earlier times. My heart is broken at Mark's passing and your great loss. Dear God, bless Mark's family and be an ever present comfort to them. Much love dear ones, Amelia Talley Driskill

Leigh Ann and family, So very sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. Mark was so sweet and cheerful whenever we would run in to one another, and always had that smile?? You will be in my prayers for comfort and God’s peace to help you through these days ahead. You were truly blessed to have such a wonderful husband. Love and prayers, Cindy

Leigh Ann and Family, I am so sorry about Mark. He and his family were always so special to me. I can remember he was one of the first to be nice to me and welcome me to William Campbell when I came in as a Freshman. I went on to be friends with Kim and even found out later that their family was kin to me through my Mother's side. Of course, you were a big part of my time in high school as well and even after, since Clarence and I worked at the same place. I know you will be rich in memories for the rest of your life. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate this new stage of life.
