Mark died tragically whilst at work when an excavator bucket hit him. I will never ever forgive the person who ended Mark's life and ruined the rest of ours. I hate him. We are all devastated and still finding it hard to take in, it seems impossible to believe that this could have happened to our wonderful son, brother and grandson. Mark is also a loved nephew and cousin and he became a very special uncle to Joshua Mark on the 19th August 2011. Since Mark died we have been inundated with hundreds of tributes and messages saying how popular, talented and loved he is by his colleagues and many many friends.

An accidental death verdict was given at Mark's inquest on September 8th 2010 and we are furious . We didn't get justice for Mark and the person involved knows he is entirely responsble for killing Mark and he will have to live with what he has done as we have to live every day without our beautiful and precious son.

Mark is kind, loving, caring, funny and generous, clever, beautiful inside and out and extremely hard working and the best son any parent could have wished for and we adore him. We are so lucky to have had him for 22 fantastic years but it wasn't long enough. He should still be here enjoying his life and having fun.

Mark was a keen player for a local football team Damsonwood Blues and is an avid Aston Villa supporter. Mark now has a memorial cup in his name and a five a side tournament will be played each year in his honour.

Mark also has a page on facebook' Mark Handford gone but not forgotten'

We will love and miss our wonderful son for the rest of our lives xxxxxxx


Kiss From A Rose was on Mark's ipod and was played at his funeral.

THE BROKEN HEART FEELS PAIN

I have always thought that a Broken heart
Was just a figure of speech
That the heart doesn’t truly break,
It’s just the words we speak.
And then my loved one went away,
Up to the Heaven’s to stay
I found that heartbreak was no lie,
My heart truly felt the pain!

Life doesn't stand still
it carries on,
And you are with us

Deep down inside
we are not apart.
You are with us every day..

Last night

╔═════════ೋღ♥ღೋ═════════╗

You hold a place inside my heart,
no one else can ever fill,
I love you more than words can say.
and I forever will.

Time won't ever erase the memories
and all the thoughts of you,
For you'll always be my angel and my

I miss you so very much...more than
any words can ever say,
and I 'll keep you close to my heart
each and every day.

Each night as I lie down to sleep and
a tear falls from my eyes,
know I'm thinking of you and this will
never be good-bye...

Yesterday afternoon

∗.⋆. .⁂...*.*.∗.*.*...⁂. .⋆.∗∗.⋆.
Somewhere beyond the sunset,
where happiness never dies,
you live in a beautiful garden,
above the clear blue skies,
although we cannot see you,
you’re with us every day,
and all the love we have for you,
will never fade away.

Yesterday morning



The tender touch of angel wings,
Brush softly past your face;
Summoned by soft spoken prayers,
To stand here in this place.
Called to keep and guard you,
To touch your heart with love;
Sent as special messengers,
From a holy place above.
Sent to whisper words of peace,
To calm a restless soul;
Sent to watch you as you sleep,
Their angel wings unfold.
They cover you with tenderness,
They watch your slumbering face;
They call you into peaceful rest,
As they stand here in this place.
They walk beside you every step,
As you go about your day;
Their mission is to guard you,
As you travel on your way.
So if you feel a tender touch,
A breeze upon your face;
Just know I prayed for angels,
To keep you in this place.
