My beautiful Mark, 5 years ago today the world changed when you were taken from us. No person I know has touched so many souls in the way you did, or continue to do so. On this day I want you to know you will 'always' be the absolute love of my life.
Remember when we first met and you told me I had saved your life? Who could know that ultimately it would be you who saved mine. Not one single morning goes by that I don't wake and miss your smiling eyes and gentle touch, your words of reassurance and comfort, and your appreciation for the beauty in life. Not one night passes that I don't wish we were still curled up together in the beautiful home we created from nothing but a sheepskin rug and a deep love.
In all those years we shared together, and right up to the moment you closed your eyes one last time, only God could and should know how tightly our hearts were entwined.
So much has happened since you went away. I wish you could be here to see Corbon, he's not so tiny now, but he is a beautiful little boy and it's hard for me to hear his voice without thinking of you or to remember the delight on his little face the last time he walked through our home, before realising his Uncle Mark wasn't there to grab him up in his arms and toss him into the air.
I see photos of the little Hutton family miracle, Cora, and I'm constantly reminded of how much you wanted and should have been here to hold her and tell her you love her, and how she should have had someone like you in her life. She is beautiful Mark and has the same warmth in her eyes as yours. I often wonder if she was put here to carry on your goodness.
And our little Woggy, she is perfect, misses you more than she would ever let on, but that's our Crystal. For Sherree and Billy it's still too hard and too soon for them to imagine you never walking through the door again with your beaming smile, big warm 'it'll all be okay' hug, and your gentle words of wisdom and kindness that they so adored; they loved and respected you so very much, I don't know if you ever truly knew just how much.
That my mistakes are what cost you your life is my cross to bear, but for all the incredible people in your life who loved and adored you, your family, Pa and Hettie, your brothers and kids, your friends and the people you worked with, today must be so hard, I cannot imagine. But I do know, looking at your smiling face right now, you would want your life and your memory to be 'celebrated' and not dampened by feelings of sadness, regret or despair.
So my Mark, I take this moment, tears and all, to honour the mischievous sparkle in your smile, the knowing twinkle in your eyes, and all that you achieved, and gave of yourself, in the short time you were here with us on this earth. ...and also to tell you I love you still, I always will, and I know we will be together again in our next life, because that's what we always wanted, that's what God tells me will be. I love you, thank you for all the love and joy you have brought to my life, the strength and compassion, the laughter and tears; all the memories, every single one of them ...you are my angel Mark, you always were and you always will be, Trace - 26 September 2015

My beautiful Mark, Happy Birthday from everyone in Australia who had the great honour to know and love you... just as I did, as I still do, and as I always will. Pa, Hettie and Family, my thoughts are with you all on this difficult but also very special day. May God be with you.

When my world is going well, I miss you, when it's not, I miss you. When I'm happy, I wish you were with me, when I'm sad, I wish I was with you. I don't know why God didn't take me with you, I wish he did, I wish so many things, but most of all I wish we were snuggled up together safe and happy in our beautiful home again. I love you Mark and I'm so sorry, for so much. I'm trying hard, but time isn't helping. I'm more lost than ever without you.

Good evening Mark speaking. I still miss you. I wish you would just manifest and give me the amazing advice and genuine love and concern you always had waiting for me. You will always be my brother. And friend. And certainly someone I strive to be. Thank you for loving my sister. Thank you for loving me and our family. Thank you for being you and choosing us to be be a part of you. You will never be forgotten but always missed, respected, admired, adored and loved. Xxoo. P.s. This is crystal/wog speaking.

My Mark.. it's been 4 years today since your light was taken from us here on earth, but I know it shines on through God and in the love of your family, and mine. Not a day passes that I don't miss you and the gentleness of your soul, the wisdom of your mind, and the love in your heart. I wish I could hug you just one more time and to feel safe in your arms. You are and always will be my best friend, my soul mate ..through all lifetimes, I love you always, Trace

My beautiful Mark... another birthday without your gentle eyes, your cheeky smile. Another year I am reminded of how few people are blessed with the wisdom, compassion, kindness and humour that you brought to this world, we are lost without you. My heart is as always with you and your family and no more so than today. Happy Birthday my Mark, I will love you for all time... 19 July 2014 Australia

Happy Birthday Mark... it only seems like yesterday that you left us and on days like today all I can think about is all the love we shared, all the experiences we shared, good and bad, and all the dreams we had for growing old together... You always laughed when I didn't know how old you were, but that's because I didn't care, to me you were, and always will be ageless. I love you Mark, with all my heart, your Trace

Mark I miss you and I can't stop crying today - everything I see, everything I do reminds me of you, of us, I can feel you so close but I can't hear your voice and I know what you told Crystal and I want you to know I am hanging on, not because I want to, but because I love you and I owe you my life beautiful. Please know how much you still and will always mean to me. Wherever in God's universe you are hearing me I love you Mark Lyal Hutton, I do.

My beautiful Mark, through all the clouds of the last two years, you have always found a way to shine through and today I want to thank you with all my heart. You have been by my side every step of the way through the greatest heartbreak imaginable, guiding me, looking over me, protecting me, making me laugh when no one else could, and loving me. Through all the devastation, not once have you ever left my side. A promise you made to me time and again when you were here in body and that you have remained true to even in spirit. In your own words my angel, ‘everything will work out mate' – and it has. All that you have given me, and in this week of all weeks, has been the greatest gift I could ever have hoped for. You were a miracle on the day you were born and I know now why God called you home when he did. You are a celebration of all that is good in people, a symbol of everything we can and should be. I love you my beautiful Mark …yesterday, today and tomorrow, and I will forever and always, Trace, 26 September
Your Trace always

Merry Christmas my beautiful Mark. It has been the longest year and the silence of your absence has been heartbreaking. We missed you yesterday, with your funny little Santa hat, your sunnies and bottle of beer, cooking up the barbie. But hard as it was I kept reminding myself you are in a place that is filled with nothing but love, only goodness, kindness and purity of soul, and that not only are you with your mum now, but also mine, two beautiful people who loved you dearly. I love you too Mark Hutton, with all my heart, always. Trace

It has been years since I have seen or spoken to Mark. In 1981 He was a groomsman in my wedding. I have many great memories of him from our days at Western. I am truly sorry to have lost touch with him. He was a great person & friend.
