So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".
Mr. Marvin was such a great husband, father, grandfather and great- grandfather and neighbor. He loved Betty and all the children so much. He also loved Baxter his friend that I will remember seeing them drive off for a ride with Baxter looking out the window as he waved. Prayers to his wonderful family who loved him so much. We will miss him. So sorry to all his family.
Love each of you.
Dear Joyce and Family, I am so sad and so very sorry about Marvin. My prayer is that God will bless and comfort all of you in the coming days.
