CHRISTMAS 2020
“Empty Chairs and Empty Tables”

Relentlessly Mark, time has moved on and we face another Christmas without you. Although we will only have Chris joining us for Christmas Lunch, as always we will miss you and there will be silent tears as we remember shared times and Christmases past. The rest of the family - Jane, Zak, Cameron, Peter, Daisy and Rowan - although in absentia will have you in there thoughts. Like us they will rejoice that you are safe in Gods care.

Mark, time is slipping away but we miss you today with all the sadness and sorrow of the day of your untimely death. However, we are fortunate that we have many cherished memories. We can all recall your kindness, goodness and a sense of humour which could light up a room.
May God Bless you and keep you safe in His care.
With all our love, Mum, Dad, Christopher, Jane, Peter, Daisy and your true friend Michelle.

Thinking of you today with fond memories and sadness on this your 57th birthday. Consoled that you are with us in spirit looking after the child we lost, watching over Megan and Claire as they battle through what life has thrown at them since your untimely death and filled with pride at the amazing women they have become. I know you will continue to watch over them as they go through life and you meet up with them again one day in spirit. X

This will be the fifth Christmas since your untimely death Mark. Christmas was always a highlight of your life: the Church services, an indulgence in family festivities and telling tall stories.

This year, Christmas 2019, cards, greetings, hugs and kisses will be exchanged. Christmas Day lunch will be enjoyed. At the table there will be laughter, joy and love. There will also be silent tears because you will not be at the table. Sadly, a year of worry and stress took its toll on your health.
J
Although we know sadness Mark, in our hearts we know that this Christmas you are in Gods care, however, Mark do be careful not to tell too many of your jokes.

All our Love.

Mum and Dad, Chris, Peter, Jane, Zak, Cameron and Rowan.

We will keep your life story and your sad end of life story alive and well remembered.

Love from Mum, Dad, Chris, Peter, Jane, Rowan, Zak, Cameron, Daisy and your "Wee Pal" Michelle.

Rest in Peace.

On the 12th March Mark, you would have been 55 years old. Sadly all we have now is memories.
In life you always treasured the cards and good wishes which you received from family and friends.
The love, kindness, loyalty and support meant so much to you, especially in what were to be the last years of your life.Sadly, we can no longer send you cards or greetings but we will always hold your birthday as a very special day.
We will remember you with laughter, love and tears.
You are now free from all distress and worry - safe in God's care.
Rest in Peace Mark!

Treasured Memories
This will be our third Christmas without you Mark and we still all miss you more than words can ever say.
We shared fun, laughter, banter and reflections on times past.
You would have now been enjoying your well earned retirement which heartbreakingly you were not to see.
As a family we were truly blessed to have been part of your relatively short life and will keep your treasured and precious memories alive.
You are now with God, at rest and out of reach of all hurt and harm.
Your loving family: Mum, Dad, Chris, Peter, Jane, Zak Cameron, Rowan and your true friend Michelle.

REST IN PEACE

Precious Memories Set in Stone
Mark it is now 2 years since your very sad, untimely and tragic passing. Time has in no way lessened the deep sorrow that we all feel.
However, we will always treasure our cherished memories of you: your love of antiques which you started collecting as a young boy. Your abiding love of the Church and deep interest in the Vatican. Your wonderful keen sense of humour,your kind gentle nature and above all else the joy and happiness we all shared. Memories we will always hold dear!
Mark we know that you are now in God's love and care, safe from all hurt and distress. Your family- Mum, Dad, Jane, Chris, Peter, Zak,Cameron, Rowan - and your true friend Michell wil always love you!
REQUIESCANT IN PACE

All Your Family Love You and Miss You Mark
The 12th of March would have been your 53rd birthday, the date of your retirement and the start of a new life. Sadly, milestones which you were not to see.

You are now in God's keeping, safe from all hurt and at peace. You were such a joy to be with and it has been difficult to live without you.

Love from Mum, Dad, Jane, Chris, Peter, Zak, Cameron and Michelle!

Goodnight but not Goodbye!
