We first met Mark over 20 years ago, and immediately felt a close affinity with him and his family. We spent many happy times together both in the USA and here in England. Mark was always good company, thoughtful and kind. He will always have a special place in our hearts.

I am going to miss my friend and fellow pastor. Mark, you fought a graceful fight these past 7+ years. God allowed you to see what heaven was like and then sent you back to work some more for Him. He saw that you had finished your course and was getting really tired so He said, "Come on home my child. You have gone the distance." I will see you again one day! Our prayers are with Teresa and all the family. God bless you all!
