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.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I will be praying for you all to feel God's healing touch at this difficult time.
So very sorry for your loss, Nina and family. Marion was one of a kind, one of Dad’s fave fishin’ buddies. Love you and hope that time will ease your hurting.
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.
Nina and children, so sorry to learn about my friend Marion's passing. We have all been through a lot over the years, working for the betterment of our county, state and country. Marion will be missed not only by family but by his many friends. My love in Christ to you all.
