I want you to know that those who care and share your loss wish you comfort and peace of mind. May you find strength in the love of your family and in the warm embrace of your friends. Death always leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal. I extend my prayers and deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. May the sweet comfort of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bless you with His Perfect Peace. Marvin was a humble man that would do anything he could for anyone. A great neighbor and friend.
