It been eight years and some how it seems like yesterday, I MISS YOU MARK AND LOVE YOU.

Mark,
I never told you this, but because of your quiet guidance I was able to develop into an adult who graduated from college, is a father, coach and has a career. When I met you (and was your back up at College of Dupage) I was at a point where I didn't know how to be an adult, college student/athlete etc. With your quiet guidance I learned all of this. I never told you while we were there, but I always looked up to you. I feel blessed to have played with you and Eric. May you rest in peace my friend!

Thinking of you and your family today on this seventh anniversary. You and my son were shot at almost the same time, but you were on different coasts with you in Georgia and Larry in California. Our families began this difficult journey together. I pray for their solace as I know both the pain and pride are forever.

Rest In Peace, Mark.

Mark, I finally got the Grand Rapids Police to add your name to the police Memorial Roll Call they hold here. We have gone to it every year since 2005. I will NEVER forget you Mark. I love you and I miss your laugh. I can still hear you laughing down stairs at your mom and dad's house the last time we were there with you. The 23rd is comming fast and I an not looking forward to it. I miss you so much.
Love, Aunt Bev

Rest in Peace, Officer Cross. Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Mark,

We lost another fine officer last evening when APD Officer Gail Thomas was killed when she was struck by a vehicle. Your mom and I knew Gail because she was a member of the APD Honor Guard. Another fine officer and a great human being gone too soon. We love and miss you and not a day goes by that we don't think of you.

I was good to see that one of your COD teammates Abie Camacho wrote a reflection recently, I remember him well and it is good to see that he also went into law enforcement.

Love and miss you,

Dad

I reflect back to the day I first met you my brother. You were a proud individual, a man of respect and I admired that about you. I continue to keep you and your family uplifted in prayer. We no longer have the REDDOG UNIT within APD, but it's my promise that I will not let your service or your name fade from the ranks of this elite unit. Gone but never forgotten, "Lest We Forget" Officer Mark Cross, APD REDDOG TASK FORCE! God bless you!
