He always had a listening ear, advice when needed and I shall really miss him. I was so saddened and shocked by the news and I offer my heartfelt sympathies to you all at this very sad time. Mark will be a hard act to follow and will be greatly missed by all of us. Love and light to you all Vicki xx

We were just getting to know you Mark and my last words to you were, I’d love to get to know you and we should talk at a more convenient time. I believe that time will come and I am sure we will be the best of friends. Believing we will meet again, keeps us going. I always say, the best of us go first, so we may prepare the way for those who come after. It keeps me going.. knowing there is someone there waiting for us. In your grief, remember all that is good, all those happy times, all those times where a parent makes sacrifices so that their children can live a better life. Celebrate your dad’s life and let his memory live on forever until you meet again. Our prayers are for your family and we are deeply sorry for your loss.
