Marcellus will truly be missed. He was always so positive and made sure he came to see his Forrest City family. He loved us and we loved him.

Bro. Crawford, a great man of integrity that was loving and very patient. I will always remember the times that we rode in your car to and from church, I will never forget how you treated us like your own children. I thought of you last week and never would have imagined this would appear this week. Your smile and your kind words will be missed.
