Mr. Marvin's pleasant smile and company always warmer my mornings working at DR Wells. I looked forward to that tan truck to pull up all crooked in the first parking spot by the front door. I will miss lowering his stool down for him to sit hours on end making the community laugh and smile as he shared his time every day talking with Mr. Billy and his loads of other lifetime friends. Mr. Marvin left this world leaving a significant impression of love in my heart, and heaven has gained a loving new angel. I miss him greatly. May you have peace and love during this somber time, and always remember who Mr. Marvin was, and may that memory bring you a warm feeling in your heart. To Mr. Marvin's family, you have my deepest condolences, and my prayers.

Dear Karen and family,
You and the family will be in our thoughts and prayers today and the days ahead. There is nothing I nor anyone else can say or do to take the pain away with the passing of your precious Daddy. I didn't think I could breathe in this world without my Mama in it but God has given me the strength I need to face each day without her. Think about what we have to look forward to one day when our time is up here! Take care of each other!
Love and hugs,
Amy and Derek
