My sincerest condolences to the family and friends
of Mark. I came to know Mark during the 20 years
I worked for the Town of Jonesborough. I have a
great deal of admiration and fondness for Mike...
He was a fine man; may he rest in peace. And may
you find peace in the blessed hope of eternity
with our loved ones, and with our Savior.
With kindest regards,

I was very saddened and shocked to hear of Mark's passing. He was always jolly anytime we spoke on the phone or he was at our office for a meeting. He will be greatly missed. My prayers are with his family.
Michelle, I was so sorry to hear about Mark's passing. I cannot imagine the pain in your heart. Prayers continue for you and your family!
Michelle,
I can not begin to understand how you are feeling
or what you are going through. I know no words
can take away the pain and grief. I just pray
that God's hand of comfort and peace will be felt
upon you and your family as you push through this
difficult time.
In Christ's Love- Tonia
Michelle and Family., I am so sorry about Mark.
This is a good picture of him at Dillow. I am so glad I got to see him Sunday and I just want to remember him like that. I will be at the cemetery Saturday, good Lord willing. If I can do anything for any of you, please let me know.
I love all of you just like part of my family.

My deepest sympathy to the
Arwood family. Mark worked
closely with the Water
Administration Department at the
Town of Jonesborough where I
recently retired from. He always
made me laugh and brightened up
my day. He will be sadly missed.
Go rest high ! Kathy Lamb
