Tia Marva’s passing saddens me greatly; in the midst of a smile my heart sometimes becomes filled with emotion. I am grief stricken for her girls, Tio Harold and Alex. I LOVE you all so very much and pray that your days continue to be filled with the loving memory of your beloved.

With Love - Darlene

Words can not express the wealth of LOVE that I have for Marva. Nor can they express how deep my grief is. I'm still waiting for God to give me a sign that he has received her and that she is safe once again in His arms. Always and Forever.

I just learned of that Marva passed. My heart goes out to Harold and his 3 very special daughter Toshiba, Mariette and Faiza which I had the pleasure of knowing and growing with for several year before I moved to Chicago. I very sorry that I could not be there in your time of need. Marva was and will forever be a great spirit.
