I had the pleasure of working for Al 20 years ago as his secretary, and spoke to Mark on the phone often when he would call his dad at the office. He always was so personable, funny and pleasant. It was very obvious that Al was so proud of him. I will always remember how happy Al was to talk to Mark on the phone no matter how hectic it happen to be at the moment, he would drop it all and happily take the call . I left to have my own son in April 1992, I visited the office shortly after and remember Al hoisting my new son Dylan up in the air, with me all nervous, and him saying to me don't worry I've done this before.!...My heart goes out to you Al, and all your family. May God Bless all of you and watch over you all.. Maryann Sexton

Dear Al, Dana, Grace & Olivia,
We are so very sorry for your unimaginable loss. I attended the beautiful service held today for Mark. I never had the opportunity to meet Mark but the love and stories that filled the church today were so powerful that they painted a very clear picture of the man he was. I've just recently met your family, but you have been so kind and welcoming that we feel like we have known you always. We hope that your strong faith, family bonds and memories will help you remember the wonderful years you had with Mark. Our deepest sympathies. Deborah and Artie DiRocco

Dear Al and Marge I am writing this on Saturday morning, during the time of Mark's services. We are sorry that we cannot be there with you, but know that we are praying for you and for Mark.
Mark was always special to us and we have many fond memories of him ..... the years of playing soccer, then lacrosse.... how good he was at the face-offs....
how he hated when Al did his "Wilton" cheer [which we all loved}....and of course, the senior All-State victory. Perhaps one of my fondest memories is when our family was at Nantucket and woke up to find Mark and Ryan La Quadia sleeping on the couch. Not having a place to stay, they crawled through our window at night. Of course, we took them in and fed them. In return they gave us many laughts.
We can't even imagine the pain you are going through. Loosing one's child is life's greatest sorrow. We pray that you will both find the strength to survive. We pray also for Mark, that he will find peace.
With Sympathy,
Joe and Evelyn

Dear Al, you have been such a great support to us at the O'Neill - I wish there was a way to repay that in comfort to you & your family. I hope you don't mind, since I did not know your dear son - I've held this close when life makes little sense in the midst of great grief,loss,& confusion. I Have My Mission God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission--I never may know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. Somehow I am necessary for His purposes, as necessary in my place as an Archangel in his--if indeed, I fail, He can raise another, as He could make the stones children of Abraham. Yet I have a part in this great work: I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good, I shall do His work; I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it, if I do but keep His commandments and serve Him in my calling. Therefore I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him; if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. My sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. He does nothing in vain; He may prolong my life, He may shorten it; He knows what He is about. He may take my friends, He may throw me among strangers, He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide the future from me--still He knows what He is about. 0 my God, I give myself to Thee. I trust Thee wholly. Thou art wiser than I--more loving to me than I myself. Deign to fulfill Thy high purposes in me whatever they be; work in and through me. I am born to serve Thee, to be Thine, to be Thy instrument. Let me be Thy blind instrument. I ask not to see, I ask not to know--I ask simply to be used. from John Henry Newman's Meditations and Devotions

We have known mark for many years and have always enjoyed having him around and loved seeing him embrace grace and Olivia. They meant more than the world to him and his love showed each and every time I saw them all together. He was a true kind and loving gentleman and one my family was lucky to have known. We will miss him greatly and are thankful to have known such a special person.

I only wished that we would have stayed closer after Melissa's death. It was obviously extremely hard for both of us. Dave and I are in NH this weekend dropping the kids off at camp where Melissa and I shared so many memories. We are so terribly sorry to miss what we know will be a beautiful celebration of Dear Mark's life. With love, Meppy and Dave

.........There’s nothing in this world that brings such happiness as that of a dear sweet child, to hold, to love and caress. When one comes into our life there is no greater joy. It matters not the gender, a baby girl or baby boy. There’s nothing in this world that brings such heartfelt sorrow,as to have them in your life one day and find them gone tomorrow. At the loss of a little child we must put our love and trust in God, our Heavenly Father, who gave the child to us. Love for the gift He gave us, and trust that in His time, we will hold our child again in our heavenly home divine

I can't tell you how much I've thought of Mark over the years and regret not getting back in touch. I can clearly remember like yesterday the times we spent together at St.Lukes and how much I admired him, truely. I'm holding a photo of him and I right now when we went to Florida back in '85. Oddly I remember that trip so clearly, the hotel, where we ate, the driving range and golf cart we drove around in and got in trouble for. Skiing up here at our old farm (where we live) in Windham when we were young crazy kids were some of the best days ever spent up here. Those were (are) great memories that I will keep with me forever. My mother, Jean emailed the article to me which she had recieved through Ellie Andrews. I went ahead and posted it on FB for all of my friends from the early St.Lukes years to read and remember Mark too. I want to send my love and wishes to the family and to know he is thought of aften. Sincerely, the Pedricks.

Mark & I became friends while working together in Vail Colorado in the Summer of 1996 and roomed together with other buds for a few years. We had similar backgrounds and loved the same sports and were equally competetive. I'll always remember us sneaking onto the Vail golf course after painting together all day and seeing who could out drive the other on every hole possible...it was always close. We'd play tennis and ski together as well. We were born on the same day which always bonded us. His contagious smile and laugh have been missed in the Vail Valley for years. Weve missed you Mark and trust you are at peace. See you on the other side my friend!!!
