I could never thank Mark enough for his support during the last months of my mums life. Despite his own illness, he brought my mum and me so much comfort. I hope they are having a good old natter with a brew and a fag wherever they may be. ❤️

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Mark. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
