Dear family and friends of Marvin,
I am sorry for your loss. The passing of someone you love can be a very hard thing to deal with. Perhaps you can take consolation in the words Jesus uttered to the sister of Lazarus upon his death. The Bible states at John 11:25, Jesus said to her: ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.’ I hope this message brings you comfort.
hi dad this is angela your daughter sure will miss you and i love bunches
I was told to leave so Marvin can have his independence I had fun caring for him often it was not easy because of his demands. He told me to go home for I need to be with my family that's what life's about. I always missed him at work and custard I would go to him and tend to him during my 30 minute break and return back to work. I wanted to do it I worried about him I wanted to make sure he was comfortable. And then I would return at 11:30 p.m. you had a good family is granddaughter his grandson both I had met and his son mark you seem like a smart and gentle sold put together. To the family knew me thank you for letting me be there with your grandfather and Dad. But he wanted me to go to my family or he knew I would be safe. But as usual I got him angry LOL LOL.
