Mark was my husband, we were married November 26, 1998. Although we had such a short time together we loved each other very much. In the years since his passing, I miss him more and more every day.
What made him so special to me was his sense of humour, playfulness, his hearty laugh, and talented guitar playing. I loved that he cared about people, and animals. He had one dog - Rocky - who passed on 11 months after Mark.
One of his wishes was to own a boat. This wish came true just a few years before his passing. He was so excited to be able to go boating on the Sacramento River with me, his friends, and colleagues.
Mark was the Administrator of a homeless shelter, and a professional Barber.
At the time of his passing, he was survived by myself, his mother, father, and sister. He was preceded in death, by his brother Eric.
He spoke often of his brother, and his grandmother, and delighted in telling me stories about them, and about his life in general before we met.
In many ways, at times, I have felt his presence, and feel comforted in knowing his spirit lives on.
Until we meet again..
Your wife,
Judy Lehtola
Good Morning Beautiful Angel Mark
My Dream of You
I had a lovely dream last night
I wish it had come true.
I travelled on a shooting star
and made my way to you.
You welcomed me with open arms
and held me oh so tight.
You took me to a wonderful place
and what a beautiful sight.
The angels were singing quietly
as you took me by the hand.
Into God's Beautiful Garden
a wonderous and pleasant land.
You kissed me softly on the lips
I held you close to me.
I didn't want to let you go
I couldn't set you free.
You told me that you loved me
and would for ever more.
But that I must go back now
and you led me to Heaven's Door.
I floated down upon a cloud
My eyes were filled with tears.
You waved goodbye once again
and said wait a few more years.
As I awoke this morning
and I lay there in my bed
I couldn't help but wonder
at all things you said.
I know you are at peace now,
and I am still your loving wife
I thank the dear Lord up above
for bringing you into my life.
So when my time is over
and I lay my head to rest
I'll go back on that shooting star
To the one I love the best.

Letter From Heaven
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,
and 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 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 for life on earth is past,
but here it 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 there were times you did some 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.
