Mark was unique.  He was handsome and awkward to deal with and very stubborn.  He loved beauty in every shape and form and nature.  He adored his only daughter Iona.  He struggled through his life, always trying to better himself and found education a magnet but in the end thought he was worthless which he was not.  HE ACHIEVED SO MUCH. He was close to his family and loved Lisa who disappointed him in the end but he loved her. Mark had many many friends who loved him but unfortunately could not fulfil his ambition. He only really wanted a happy family life and be proud of himself. He is greatly missed. His mother was close and knew him so well and always tried to help him but it was not enough. His father loved him and they had many shared interests.
