To: Mr. and Mrs. Stevens and Kate;

I send my condolences on behalf of the Williams family and the Schoenbrunn family. We all sympathize with the loss of a long time friend. As you may know he was part of the family at the Williams residence and his spirit will always live on.

Mark and I have had our differences and definitely have had our good times. I will always miss him as he helped through the rough times and was there for the good times.

Mark was one of our greatest friends and will be remembered as the Mayor of Buttzville not only by us but by many people.

We all send our love to Mark

Sincerely,

Sonya and Jed, The Schoenbrunns and the Williams family

Mark Stevens was a kind and genuine person and a great and wonderful friend. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Jim and Pam.

To Mark's Family,

I was one of Mark's teachers at Stepping Stone and remember his love and extensive knowledge of trains. I was glad to read he was able to fulfill his goal of being an engineer. Loved his sense of humor, and still have the note he wrote me saying "You're a few fries short of a Happy Meal". Please accept my sincere sympathy,

With love and caring thoughts,

Mrs. Alexis Knerr

Pam, Jim & Kate,

I dont know what to say, but Im sorry. I am at a total loss for words. I do know that Mark was a fun loving kid. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Lets just try to keep our heads up and remember all the crazy things he did. He wouldnt want us moping around too much. That wasnt Mark not at all. I will always remember the time that he scared me by sticking his head through the window at Flemington Station to say HI while i was selling tickets. He was always the person to get you laughing when you werent feeling so right, He will be missed so much by so many of us. He will never be to far away because, he will always be in my heart Forever.

Love,

Jennifer, Tom & Patrick

To Pam and Jim:

I was speechless when i found out what had happened. it was like a part of me died too. i have known him almost all my life. ever since the first day you brought him to the farm. we must have only been 5. he was my only friend for years and i was his. yes, there was times of trouble, but we were only kids. we all were once. he had a good heart. i will miss him most in my years to come. he was my best friend. even though this is almost still uncomprehendable we must all work though it together. may he rest in heaven and i know we will all see him again some day. It may be true that only the good die young and this has made me realize how preious life really is. we all can never be too carefull. i will never forget him. You have my deepest condolences and he is in my prayers at night. we allways think we have more time. more time for laughing and working. more time for talking and just living. we allways think that there will be a tommarrow. and then what happens when tommarrow never comes? we all die inside just a little bit more with every heart acke in life. wheather or not we get stronger is up to the person. he will be remembered forever with me.

Dear Pam, Jim & Kate,

I was so upset to read about Mark. He was such a great kid and I loved him dearly. I can still picture him in my classroom--that grin and the twinkle in his eyes. He had such a good sense of humor and slways made me laugh. He has always, and will continue, to have a very special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you. With my deepest sympathy for your loss, Bonnie Large

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Stevens family. I knew Mark from his working with Lines in Lawns. I know he is in the hands of the Lord and watching over us from the cab of a Steam engine. He told me on Friday that he was going to work at the train yard to switch track and that a "new" steam engine had been bought. I always enjoyed listening to him talk of the trains and their history.

To Pam, Jim & Kate,

We are so sorry for the loss he will be surely miss.I remember all the good times we had together with him and you guys.He will be in our thoughts for now and forever.God Bless Always & forever.

Our deepest sympathy, our prayers are with you in your time of sorrow.

Dear Jim, Pam, and Katie,

Mark Stevens was an incredible person. A guy like Mark only comes around once in a lifetime. Mark was not only a model employee but he was also a great friend. He would do anything for anyone and never expect anything in return. He was truly a good hearted, kind person. It is a tragedy that his life was cut short when he had so much more to give. It must be true that only the good die young. I know that there is not much comfort in words but if there is anything, and I mean anything that I can do to help you through please do not hesitate to ask.

Sincerely,

Jay and Heather

Dear Pam and Family,

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this most difficult time.May you find comfort and peace in all the beautiful memories you will keep with you always.

Sincerely,

Helen Batch
