PAYSON, Mark Steven
PAYSON, Mark Steven - In loving memory of a dear son and brother, tragically taken on April 20, 1995.
As the years pass swiftly by and great changes have taken place we still hold you so close, as you've never really left us, for memories live on in the kindnesses you showed, the special moments we shared, and the love you brought into our lives.
Although we still grieve, and sometimes wonder why things turn out the way they do, we know you have a very special life, sheltered in God's tender, loving care.
Time will never steal the treasures that we carry in our hearts, nor ever dim the shining thoughts your cherished past imparts.
You still remain our priceless treasure, held close to our hearts and always remembered with never ending love.
Dad, Mom & brother Chris
