I'm so sorry. I miss him like crazy. I love him dearly.

I'm sorry to hear this and will keep you in my prayers.  God will see you through.

We are sending prayers your way--so sorry for your loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.  Mark was a great friend to many and always went above and beyond to help others when possible.  I am glad to have been able to call him a friend and he will truly be missed.  A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds;   Through us, they live on.

My dear Shellie and family, I have thought of you this entire week and have lifted all of you in prayer.  So wish I could be there to help out in any way I can.  I know how much you love your dear children and know how this loss has hurt.  Try to remember all the great memories and fun you had as a family.  I will be in touch soon.  My love to you and sending a huge hug your way.  Love you!!  Beverly Adams

I was so sad to hear the news about Mark. He was a student in my class last spring. I absolutely enjoyed having him in class. He was always there early and had my classroom set-up for me. We chatted a lot during that hour before class, so I felt especially close to him. He will be sorely missed. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mark, Shellie, and family,
Please know that you are in my special thoughts and prayers.  Mark was a dear friend of mine through Wingate.  We spent many hours together -- talking and sharing philosophies.  I will miss him.  He was a special friend to many.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers! God bless you all!

Shellie, keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I went to school with Mark. So sad to hear about Mark. Prayers are with Marks family.

Praying for you and your family!

My sincere condolences , Mark had a tenacity not to give up. He often encouraged me at Wingate. The last time I saw Mark was at church, and the next time will be in Heaven. I know he was one of Gods beloved.

I will miss the special times Mark and I have had during the wonderful college times. I will truly miss him. I am so sorry for our loss of a truly good man.

To the Rollins family - Please accept my sincere condolences. Mark was a student in classes with me at Wingate University. He was an outstanding young man. May you find comfort in knowing that his presence and memory will remain cherished. God watch over and bless you in your time of loss.

Shellie, as I read the news of your son's passing in the newspaper today, my heart broke for the pain of your loss.  As you may know, Jerry and I lost both of our sons within the last 4 years, so I do know the depth of your sorrow.  May God be with you each and every minute of the days to come.  Only He can bring you the comfort and peace that you seek so desperately.  Hold your son's beautiful memory in your heart and soul and somehow, some way, you will find the strength to go on.  You and Mark and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers as you face this unbelievable tragedy, but know that God is with you, always.   Much love, Ann (Knight) Murphy

Please accept my sincere sympathies. It was with such sadness when I heard the news of Mark's passing.  May fond memories of Mark bring you comfort.  He was always thinking of others and would do anything for anyone.  You must be so proud him. I will cherish the memories forever. He certainly will never be forgotten. He brought such joy to everyone around him. He was always helping others and is a great example of selflessness.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all at such a devastating time for your family.  No one ever expects to lose a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend at such a young age.  May God bless you and keep you in his care, now and in the days to come.
