I'm so sorry to hear of Marion's passing. The memories of music parties, that twinkle in Marion's eyes, and his kindness to all of us Reavis kids is strong in my heart. I tell my grandchildren about those days and I hope, in some small way, Marion will live on in the stories - right there alongside mom, dad, Ed and all the others that have left us. My heart is with you all.

Nina and family, I am so very sorry to hear about Marion. I hope you all are doing ok.
I wasn't very old before we moved, but I do remember when we would visit, he was super funny and that he always had to be one step ahead of Ricky so he wouldn't get into trouble! Boys, I know you'll take care of your Mom! I love you all and am just so sorry you have to go through this.
