"To my friend my buddy over a lifetime I will miss you.we had a blast together over the years.may god bless the Shirels family"
"Mark was one of the biggest hearted people I ever met, he would give you the shirt off his back. Never in all the years that he was a part of our family did he not ask me every time he talked to me Aunt Peg do you need anything? I will always remember that, even when he didn't have much himself. He loved my niece Debbie so, so much and his girls. He was just a kind person. Love you Mark and glad you aren't suffering any more and that you get to be your sweetheart. Everyone will miss you especially your girls and grandchildren. Godspeed. Aunt Peg"
