Dear Bernie and Family. Sending love and condolences to you all at this very sad time. I enjoyed meeting up with Mark again when I was in Picton in 2022 and I loved seeing all the art work in the gallery. Mark was a great host, full of life, and ever so knowledgeable. May he rest in peace now.

My first night in Picton was with...
