1/ He had such a good sense of humour , my cousin Hedley has solar panals fitted and Mark whilst being so ill at Wheatfields, on a very sunny day , looked out of the window and remarked" Hedley will be happy today " i asked why? of course the sun boosted the solar panals bringing in some extra income for my cousin. 2/ Romantic? well he could be , i remember a meal he cooked for me , pie and peas ,wonderful comfort food . just what i needed, to be followed with what is equivalant to a weightwatchers pudding , he didnt want to spoil me too much still looking after my diet. 3/His way of saying he loved me was "Cadbury cream eggs" he wasnt one to tell you all the time he loved you , prefering to show it by actions rather than words. 4/Loyal_- He was so loyal to everyone that ever meant anything to him , he never forgot anyone that had played important parts in his life and i respected him for this .he was such a caring person who never wanted to hurt people. 5/Funny- yes he was that alright , you just needed to see him after a few drinks especially on the dance floor.bless him usually ended on us throwing each other around the dance floor not much coordination just lots of fun . 6/ Trip to Sarah and Maccas wedding - Stressed or what ! he had spent the days in Hong Kong trying to download a special song for Sarah on his I player, Mark as we know was not technicalin these sort of things ,all the time in HK spent most on trying to download this song , it left him with very little time concentrate on his speech, so the speech very much was ablib on the day , and came from his heart. 7/ Love for my cats- well what can i say , Mark was with me when my cat Tabs had to be put to sleep having been ill with liver cancer, he consoled me and helped me so much, little did we know that that dreadful disease would take him but what he said to me at time was ,we dont want her to suffer, And finaly- Not a day goes by that i dont think of Mark he was the love of my life and i was so proud to have been his partner so sorry that time was not on our side ,we had so many good years and should have have had more , love you Mark xx
