Father Mark
You were a legend! Thank you for all you taught me about theology and the East facing altar.
Life has lost the rainbow part that was you.
I know you’re in God’s hands now. Looking forward to eating cake at the heavenly banquet when we meet again…..
Rest In Peace and rise in glory my dear friend.
Blessing Revd Jo
