Dear Les & Stephen & Rose
My sincere condolences on the loss of Mark. He used to visit my late Aunt Evelyn Cain & i know she was happy to see Mark.
My parents Mike & Mary Austin (Deceased) also pass on their condolences.
Mark was a kind & gentle soul now at rest.
Kind Regards
Carol Austin
Thank you for those kind words.
To Mark’s family. My very deepest sympathy to you all at this time, Mark has been such an asset to our community, and he will be missed. His involvement over many years with St Vincent de Paul Society,and his long involvement with Meals on Wheels service and I’m sure many more. Mark was a very quietly spoken gentleman who lived his faith every day. Rest in Peace Mark, you have earned it,
Thank you for that. It is true, he did give a lot of himself, without expecting a reward.
