Hi Laura
I wanted to personally offer my condolence to you and your children. I have prayed peace for you and your family to help get through this very difficult time. I still remember vividly Mark and I having coffee together at a small bakery in Victoria right around the time we were rolling over the Hartley book to Co-op and we had a wonderful visit. Please reach out to me anytime, I will always take the time for a visit.
Dear Laura and family. We are so sorry to hear of Mark’s sudden passing. He was such a great person and we will miss him. Wishing you strength and love.
Trevor Miranda (and our family and team at Cowichan Eyecare)

Laura, thinking of you at this time. John/Pam King
Laura,
So sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. My deepest sympathies to you, Emily and Winston. I particularly remember how much Mark enjoyed hosting the Hartley gang at your home in Shawnigan Lake. He cooked a mean BBQ salmon! Life is not always fair but we must remember the good times. Best wishes for consolation in this difficult time.
