I've recently found that Mark Phillips is my 3rd Cousin 4x removed and I find it so tragic that someone my own age died in such a way.

Mark was my great grandfather,his granddaughter Renee was my mother but I don't think she knew anything of him as she never spoke about him.Her mother Ethel was only 6 months old when he died,which left her with her own problems in her younger days.
