Mark William Francis Joy died on the 17th of June 2005, he was 30years old.Mark was a sky engineer, he loved his job.Mark lived in Stevenage all his life.He had 3 brothers and 3 sisters. Mark also had 2 sons Tom and Sam who he absolutey adored.Mark drowned in the lake at Fairlands Valley, it was a very hot day, he went to the lakes with his aunt and cousins they were drinking and having a good time but Mark decided to go for a swim to cool off and got into difficulties, although he was a good swimmer. Mark was my son, he was so full of life he was always willing to help anyone out , he was funny but he could also be annoying, in fact he could be a pain in the arse sometimes.Mark had a sensitive side to him,he didnt like to see anyone upset, he would always try to help them.I miss Mark so much, he has left a very big gap in our family, there isnt a day goes by that i dont think of him. When i stood on the bank and watched them pull my son out of the lake that evening, part of me died too, you cant believe they are never coming back.How would we cope if it wasnt for memories.
My darling son,tomorrow will be five years since you left us,its still so very painful.We still talk about you, everyday something comes up which was said or done by you. That helps so much.I know as does everyone else that you will never be forgotten. To you my son my love always, sleep tight sweetheart xxxxxxxxx
Mark its that time of year that we all get together and chat about you. Nan is having bbq at her house this year, its raining at the moment but hopefully it will brighten up.It gives us a chance to be with each other and to remember all the things you used to get up to, so it could go on for a while! You are always in our thoughts, and so sadly missed. xxxxxx
we got through yesterday Mark, there were tears of course, but there was also lots of laughter, rembering some of the things you got up to,but its those things we remember that keep us going.Love to you always my son, xxxx
Mark i cant believe its four years since you died. the days pass so quickly, we carry on as best we can, some days are harder than others. When you lose someone you love you think its the end of the world, everyone tells you, youll get over it,or it gets better,well let me tell you thats rubbish.There is no getting over it or it even getting better, you just learn to cope. You carry on for the sake of everyone else but inside your broken, never to be mended.You find time to cry when there is no one around or you sit at the cemetary and forget the time, then realise you have been there two hours.It hurts so much, having to go home and leave you there. I am going to the cemetary in a while, then i am meeting up with some of the family at the lakes.You are always in my thoughts Mark, i wouldnt want it to be any other way.Take care,sleep well,my love to you always,my beautiful son. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
