I am in shock...

Mark has been a friend of mine for several years...I just talked to him not too long ago.

To have his life taken away so suddenly and without rightous cause...it's HORRIBLE.

Mark was such a sweet man with big heart. He will be truly missed. please keep his dad tommy in your prayers as he just lost marks mother aug 1, to cancer. Please keep the smith family in your prayers as well because accidents are just that, accidents. laying blame is not going to bring mark back to us or make it any easier to get through this tragedy. A persons life can change in a matter of seconds so don't take even one day for granted, make each day count by learning to love and forgive. I love you mark and i miss you very much. your aunt stacie.

i just want to say your family is in our prayers! I cam accross the wreck at about 4:30am that morning while taking my husband to work and nothing was cleaned up at the time. I could do nothing but pray when i seen the condition of the vehicles and the sheet over the car. Ive never seen a car crashed so bad in my life and i couldnt begin to know what the family is feeling. Im truely sorry and hope god helps to ease your pain
