Dear Kathleen, I am sorry to read of your father’s death and offer my sincere condolences and prayers to you, your mother and all the family. May God reward him for his faithful service. Love, Jessica.
We are so sorry to learn of Mark's passing. We have many fond memories of Mark and Kathleen when they lived in Abbotsford. Mark was always positive and encouraging. He had an energy and zest for life that was inspirational. He was very proud of his family and spoke of them with much affection. Mark and Kathleen were a great team who lived out their faith with sincere convictions and never compromised their principles. Please accept our sincere condolences. May Kathleen and your family be comforted with many happy memories of a life well lived in service to God, family and others. Sincerely, Ross Siemens, Jake Siemens and the team at Hub Motor Service.
It is an honor to know Mark for so long and his magnificent commitment to the Faith via his family example and the Catholic journalism from The Trumpet days onward. Always a source for analysis and advice and advocacy. Dear Kathleen and families may the peace of the Mass just offered today for the repose of his soul, be with you daily. Love Sissy
