Kia ora Lesley and Jenny
I have only today found out about Mark's passing, my deepest sympathies to you and your whanau. I have fantastic memories of my time working with Mark at the Foundation. He made me laugh until I cried, he was kind, generous with amazing charisma. It was with Mark I listened for the very first time to a CD. My life has been the richer for having Mark in it and I can only imagine how tough his leaving is on you. Arohanui to you at this sad time, Tania Thomas x

An Ode For Mark's Journey Home
May Heaven's gates be opened wide
When the soul of Mark Anderson (the Mad Vicar) arrives,
Escorted nobly by a raucous Jazz Funeral Band.
To be greeted by St Peter, ready with Tribute Ode in hand;
Waiting to usher Mark into the eternal presence of his Lord God
Whom he has served so faithfully throughout his lifetime on this earth.
Our love and prayers are with Lesley, Jenny, David, Louis and Milla at this sad time.
RIP Mark. We were privileged to have known you and to have shared many happy times with you. We will miss your friendship, witty charm, irreverent antics and especially your clever odes to mark life's special occasions.
