Reading Two: Renae

For our second reading, we asked Renae, Mark's sister, to do the honours. Here are the words by the Reverend Carl Thitchener's that she read:

We celebrate the love that brought Pet and Mark to this day. May their house be a place of happiness for all who enter it, a place where the old and the young are renewed in each other's company. A place for growing, a place for music, a place for laughter. And when shadows and darkness fall within its rooms, may it still be a place of hope and strength for all who enter it, especially for those who may be entrusted in their care. May no person be alien to their compassion. May their larger family be the family of all humankind. And may those who are nearest to them and dearest to them constantly be enriched by the beauty and the energy of Pet and Mark’s love for each other.
