Idk where to start, I may not have spent the most time with you but you were a big role in my life as I always felt loved by you. you would always go out of your way for birthdays whether it be as small as a text or flowers arriving at my door on my 21ST birthday that I will always cherish to my heart, to you coming to my job and getting the chance to serve you when you came in for coffee and breakfast, and getting to make your coffee.

Marky, we miss you incredibly. I treasure the time we had, holding your hand, laughing, hugs, wiping your tears when needed. We promised you we would take care of my big sis bobbi and we will. We would rather have you here my Marky. You fought 1 hell of a battle but your body was tired and needed to rest. You earned your angel wings with courage and determination. The smell of the roses has gone but you send us signs your about. Its not good bye but see you later

Love and miss you madly dada, we had some really good times! Life won't be the same without. Gone but not forgotten xx

Mark, my wonderful husband, I cannot believe you are no longer here after the battle we fought. We celebrated your positive results from your treatment only to be told the cancer had spread with this devastating end to your life.
You were my soulmate, my rock and the best husband anyone could ask for. You were kind, caring and always put others first. We shared so many interests, travelled, went to concerts and we were just happy to be in each other’s company.
You will always be the love of my life. You are loved and missed deeply and will always be remembered. Our fur babies are also very lost without you. Love you always 💔

Poppa bear, much-loved dad and grandad,
My good memories of you are endless, the rose you sent to me at college on valentines with "from secret admirer" card-god i felt cool in front of my mates...shock horror to find out it was you when i got home!!, the hours we spent sanding and painting my 1st car-and fitting with a coby exhaust cos "I wanted to be a girl racer", the treats you brought along on school trips and snuck to me n my friends.........
But more recent ones... the chats every morning before work, the video calls to watch all black games together, you wearing a suit n tie to my graduation and the words "I'm proud of you love" constantly landing in my ears.
I carry you with me everyday dad and when I graduate with my diploma-i know you will be right beside me.
I'm glad you are free of the physical and mental pain you experienced recently, rest in peace pop xxxxx

Missing you so much, will always remember your stubble beard scratchies, your love for cuddles, shorts that were entirely too short and all your kids. I hope you found everything you were searching for dad. Forever your little girl, love me xo

Thinking of you Roberta and family at this very sad time.

Dear Roberta,
I was very sad to read of Mark’s passing. I know how devoted you two were and had many shared interests.
Thinking of you Roberta as you navigate life without your special man. With love,

My name is Ian Stephenson, and I was deeply saddened to hear of Mark’s passing.
I knew Mark for more than thirty years, and in that time I always held a quiet respect for the kind and steady way he moved through the world. I had the privilege of meeting his family over the years, and I remember the generosity, warmth, and ease that seemed to come so naturally to all of you. It reflected the sort of man Mark was.
I also had the honour of knowing Rod Grover during our days at Tauranga Boys’ College — I believe it was 3F1 and later 6E1, though time blurs those details. Even as a boy, Rod was one of the most intelligent people I had ever met, and to this day, when I think of true intelligence, I still think of him. It speaks to the calibre of the family that both Mark and Rod came from.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Mark was someone I respected, and his passing is felt deeply.
Warm regards,

Dear Roberta, Lauren and the extended family

I am so deeply sorry for the loss of Mark - there are no words that can truly bring you comfort now and I know there are no words to ease the ache of losing someone who was so deeply loved in your life. I can only hope you are surrounded with support by your immediate family and friends as you navigate this painful time.

Mark's love for you Bobbi was unmistakable - full of warmth and devotion. I remember the way those bunches of flowers used to turn up at school from ' your admirer' - how charming and romantic he was. He had a beautiful smile and his devotion to you was always so evident.

The love you shared will always be part of his legacy and the memories you hold so tenderly will hopefully bring you some comfort. I am thinking of you and holding you close in my heart.
Love
Glo
