Mark had a great personality, and loved by all of us. I’ll always remember how much he loved digging for clams and the night we were eating them at 2:00 AM. We had some great and fun times at his home, I’ll cherish those wonderful memories always, you’ll be in our hearts forever.
God Bless Mark’s family during this very difficult time.
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today;
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you;
And each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
She said my place was ready
In heaven far above;
And that I’d have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye;
For all my life, I’d always thought
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do;
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad;
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday
Just even for awhile,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized
That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things
I might miss come tomorrow;
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven’s gates
I felt so much at home;
When God looked down and smiled at me
From His great golden throne.
He said, “This is eternity
And all I’ve promised you;
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it all starts anew.”
“I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last;
And since each day’s the same day,
There’s no longing for the past.”
“But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true;
Though at times you did do things,
You knew you shouldn’t do.”
“But you have been forgiven
And now at last you’re free;
So won’t you take my hand
And share my life with me?”
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart.
Greg and Chris,
Lou and I want to express our sincere sorrow for your loss. We have both experienced the same loss and for the same reasons. We don’t know God’s reasons only his will. He is at peace and without pain in the presence of the Lord. If you need to talk, call anytime.
Debbie you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are with you in spirit. Love you.
To debbie, dan, mark jr, tara, jimmy, mike, tommy, and all of extended family, It really was a pleasure to know such a wonderful man. Always happy, always smiling, always making you laugh.

As i sit here and recall all of the laughter he brought to my life it will forever be cherished and missed. My deepest condolences to everyone.

Debbie and Family, So sorry to hear about your loss. We only met Mark once at Gina and Roy’s Wedding in Arizona but we saw what a wonderful man, husband, stepfather he was to all of you…… We all had a great time for a few days. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort from family and friends at this sad time. With Our Deepest Sympathy, Lou-Ann & Ed Colavolpe
Debbie, Dan, Mark, Tara, Jimmy, Mike and all the Morrone family – we want you to know that you are in our prayers as you face this difficult loss. Mark will always live our hearts and memories as a truly special, happy and loving man. His life in this world was certainly shorter than anyone would have ever wanted, but he lived it so fully and shared so much of his humor and positive spirit with all of us! We were blessed to have him join our family through you Debbie. He’s earned his place in Heaven and I think will be waiting for all of us with some Limoncello!
