Remembering Marlow is hard. He was my son's best friend and was at our house on chelmsford many times. I know Fritz will miss him. My prayers go to his family. He was way too young for Heaven now.

Even though I have not seen you in in 26 years, I remember you well from FWCS. You were such a happy and caring person, and I always liked you. A small part of me has gone on with you, Marlow. May you find rest in His arms now.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

I had the privilege of knowing Marlow for only the past few years. However, if you knew Marlow for a day, you knew him for a lifetime. His smile was never-ending, and his laughter was contagious. I don't think he ever met a stranger! Marlow, rest in peace my friend, and thank you for the memories, even if they were brief.

I am so saddened by this. Marlow was such a wonderful boy when I went to school with him. He always ALWAYS had a smile on his face, a kind spirit and a kind word. He was one of my adopted brothers in Dave's class and I just loved him to pieces. I'm so sorry for his passing. But I'm glad for the blessing of knowing him.

The Barron family has my sympathy for the loss of Mr. Barron. I grew up in Fort Wayne but I live in Ohio. There is another Barron family in Fort Wayne since the late 40's. Our Barron family originated from Mississippi, then to St. Louis and on to Chicago. Who knows, we could be related.
