Condolence From: Brenda Angrove Pennells
Condolence: I just returned from out of country to hear this very sad news. It doesn't seem like that long ago I ran into Mark and were laughing together. Spending plenty of time as a kid at the farm is a fabulous memory for me. Always smiling. You have left a wonderful legacy for your son. His Dad was a wonderful, kind and caring man. For all the family much love and many hugs to all of you.

Condolence: I was saddened to hear of Mark‘s passing in the local newspaper today. I haven’t seen him in a long time. I remember him as a really funny and sweet guy from the rides to work we used to share. I’m sure his family will miss him dearly. Rest in peace friend.

Condolence: Dear Mark,

I'm sorry I did not know you personally, but I know your parents, Lorna and Maurice. It sounds like you were a wonderful person--witty, loving, family oriented, spiritual, hard working, popular, and I'm sure so many more great attributes. My deepest heartfelt condolences to all your family. There are no comforting words to say that can ease the pain of grieving. But, I pray that your family will feel God's presence and his loving arms around them at this time and following. And that He would comfort them all and show His love to them in every way possible. Please find peace in knowing this.
Love in Christ,
Elisabeth xo

Condolence: Ephesians 2:4 begins with the phrase ‘But God …’ This is our hope, that for those who by grace receive God’s salvation by faith, God in mercy and great love, makes us ALIVE in Christ. Jesus is our hope and salvation is only in Him! Ephesians 2:1-10

Mark and I were friends during high school. Many weekends we spent doing chores at the farm, visiting people, going to church, and riding around in the Pickup truck. I remember trips to People’s Church in Toronto where we would visit with his grandparents. We attended youth group together at Orangeville Baptist Church. Most of all, we just hung out.
Mark was a great communicator and he enjoyed visiting with people. I don’t think I could ever phone him without talking for at least ½ an hour. He was a good friend and we spent an exciting time of life together.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I pray that you will be comforted with the hope of Christ Jesus.

Condolence: Hey Mark! It's me Ashley AKA. your black daughter:) You were such an amazing person. From the first day I met you, we just clicked. You use to say "You know Ash, I don't understand why you like me but, you're awesome". I would often reply with, "Well, you're my Pops and I love you for you and then you would laugh". The way you made your face when you were going to say something wrong but funny just in time for me to stop you by saying, "MARCUS RANEY!", then you would pause and laugh. That laughter of yours filled the hallways, our hearts and over turned any bad mood we were feeling that day once we heard it. Your smile lit up the whole place. You would teach me life lessons along the way as we walked the halls causing nothing but trouble. "Hey Ash, come here", you would say, I would say, "What?" and you would say, "I missed you" and laugh. The time I agreed that I was the head custodian and you then sent all the kids to me. The early mornings and the beautiful food especially those potatoes, my favourite. The morning conversations with Matthew, watching the way your face lit up with great pride and joy as you talked to him every morning around the same time. You would say, "Hold on, wait for it, Matthew's going to call. Wait, wait" and then the phone would ring and you would smile as bright as ever with that contagious laugh of yours. Everything stopped because Matthew was on the phone. Whoever was calling, paging or at the door had to wait because he was on the phone! I loved that because you gave him that undivided attention and that always left me with a huge smile. It was so pleasant to see. I can go on and on about how great you were. I am just so happy that I was able to tell you when you were here. I thank you for the time you stayed on the phone with me for hours as I waited at the hospital with my brother or the time you offered to come to my house to cook because my brother and mom were sick and my dad was out of town. You, Pops, are the greatest, the most honest and the most real person ever. I will always remember the song you made me listen to, TIME by dean Brody, when I would not put my phone down. While we were talking, you would say "are you spending time with me or your phone and smile". I would say, "You" and you would laugh and say how much you loved me. Anyways, POPS I love you and you have stamped my heart forever and I will never forget you ever.

Matthew, your dad talked so proudly about you. His eyes would light up just at the mention of your name. He was so proud of you and, trust me, he talked about you everyday, all day with so much joy!! He loves you and only ever wanted the best for you so, Matthew, as I write this, be the best you can be, be who you are and always strive for greatness.

Mark, thank you for all the lessons you taught me and all the laughter we shared. Thank you Pops for loving me the way only a dad would love their child.

Love you Daughter

Condolence: Dear Mark, my heart is heavy that you were taken so soon. I remember all the fun times we had at Nan's. We laughed so hard we cried. Your laugh was contagious and we could never keep a straight face even when we were in trouble. Hide and seek, playing dress up with stockings over our heads and heavy, heavy hang over your head game. These are the memories I will treasure and am blessed to have had you as my cousin. Rest in peace. Your smile will always shine on.
