To The Blavat Family,

There are no words to even begin to describe the feelings that are going through me. All I can say, is that I am so sorry for your loss. God bless your family and Mr. Blavat. Alyssa, is a fellow rugby player and I have such respect for her on and off the pitch. She is such a sweetheart - raised by some fantastic parents.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.....

There are no words to describe such a loss. Mark, it seems like a short 12 years since I first met you and an even shorter 7 yrs since I became part of the family. You now join Matt and Dave in heaven and we walk with knowledge we will see you again. We will watch over Alyssa and Bobbi from here; you watch over them from there. Always loved. Never forgotten.
