Hello. I'm sorry to hear about Mark. We used to live next door to the family when we were kids (Shortland St). I remember playing the "black hand" with Mark, Sharon and Nicola. I'd love to reconnect with Sharon who was a favourite friend in my early primary years. My name was Sonja Jeffs. Please reach out if you see this. I've attached a pic of me and my sister from our Shortland days.
