I don´t have memory of Mark without that smile. A wonderful person from day one to the day he left us. I had the privilege of his being one to of his 40+ cousins that got to spend time on the farm in Kirwee many family dinners and the annual Clarks picnics. His Mum Ray McFarlane née Clark my father Frank´s sister. Mark, Paul and Carolanne were like wonderful older siblings to my brother and sisters and we will never forget the wonderful man and his beautiful whanau.
