Wishing that I could be standing there with all of you, celebrating such a full and extraordinary life. Mark the perfect mix of Aunty Shirley and Uncle Bob, my wonderful godparents. Mark’s smile could make you feel the youth, happiness, enthusiasm, and intelligence that shone brightly in his twinkling eyes. Mark was a great friend to my Mum and Dad, creating many wonderful memories for our family. Robyn (Mum) cherished their time together at the Mission Bay flat, with Mark and Kevin keeping her laughing daily and including her in their antics – a very special time. Rachel and Zita, my heart goes out to you. You are both so strong and have given Mark his ultimate dream of a beautiful and loving family. Today, a song played that seemed fitting, by Dean Lewis – ‘How Do I Say Goodbye.’ There is no right way to say goodbye... but through our tears and shared memories, we can find solace in knowing that Mark’s spirit lives on in each of us, forever cherished and never forgotten. All our love to you, Tanya, Adam, Chelsea and Cohen.

Wishing you love and thoughts as you come together to celebrate Marks life and complishments. xx

Wishing you strength and peace as you honour Marks life and say your goodbyes. He will live on in your hearts. xx
