We Love You Mark....

Memories of my wonderful nephew Mark Winters will be held forever in our hearts....in just one day things can change alot.......each day we have here is one we borrow....

for we are never promised tomorrow.......
 My nephew passed away last Wednesday Jan. 19th, at the age of 23..... It was shocking news ...My parents (his grandparents) have raised him from birth . They spent the last 23 years being there for him in all good and bad times... they have never turned their backs on him and he always knew they were there for him if he needed them...Thank you mom and dad for giving so much of yourself for Markie.. during this sad time of grieving be proud of yourselves as well for being  amazing parents to Mark.... i know Markie was.  Mark has a beautiful little boy Logan who is 2 years old... And Logans mom Kim was a very special person in Marks life....My brother Mark sr. tried to stay in touch with his son the best he knew how and deep down i know Mark knew his dad loved him very much... .....Grieving is hard..everyone will share the pain and everyone has different ways of coping..... my heart , thoughts and prayers goes out to my parents, Kim , Logan , cousins, aunts, uncles, his friends, his co- wokers at Amherst Ale and his boss that he cherished and looked up to as a big brother John Bona...i personally thank you John for being the awesome person that you are and for being  there for Markie when he needed that brotherly shoulder to cry on and share with...... We love you Mark . everyone  will miss you... and know that our heart aches with sadness for you leaving us so soon....forever hugs and kisses to you in Heaven....



To Those Whom I Love And Those Who Love Me


When I am gone, release me, let me go....
I have so many things to see and do.....
You must not tie yourself to me with tears....
Be happy that I have had so many years....
I gave you my love, you can only guess....
How much you gave me in happiness...
I thank you for the love each have shown...
But now it is time I travelled on alone...
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must....
Then let your grief be comforted by trust....
It is only for a while that we must part.....
So bless the memories in your heart....
I will not be far away, for life goes on....
So if you need me, call and I will come....
Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near....
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear....
All of my love around you soft and clear Then, when you must come this way alone....
I will greet you with a smile and welcome you home......
