My old friend JR. I am so sorry to hear about your father. I always enjoyed talking with him and thought he was the kindest man back when we took teakwood together. May God's peace comfort you and your family.
Debra and family I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Marlin . I have many fond memories of talking with him during the years he was at Riggs and then seeing him throughout town at restaurants or wherever we would run into each other. He always had a smile on his face and I was always so happy. I know this is a huge loss for your family. I lost my husband in April and the only thing I can say is Heaven is getting sweeter every day. I will pray for you and your family
Sending many prayers for comfort for the Underwood family during this difficult time.
Dearest Jason and Debra and other family members. Floyd and I continue to pray for all of you as you go through the upcoming days ahead. Marlin was such a sweet person, and I still think of his mother who he loved so much! He is now there in his eternal home with those who have been waiting for him and I'm sure there was a joyful meeting that day. I pray that God will wrap His loving arms around you at this difficult time. Floyd Curtis and Doris Bridges
Will always be missed. I love you always.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Underwood family.
My deepest sympathy to you Debra and family. I so enjoyed his calls telling me about the family and the adventures you guys had shared recently. His total and complete love for his family always showed through in his conversations. He was so proud of everyone. Again, my sympathy on your loss.
Marlin was a very good guy. When he worked at Riggs Supply I would seek him out because he was so knowledgeable about everything in the store and was very proficient in getting one's order ready. In time we became friends from the conversations we had at the counter. RIP Marlin, you earned your wings so fly high.
Deepest sympathy for the family. R.I.P. Marlin.
Will be forever missed.
