Dear Edith and Family,
I was so saddened to hear of Marshall's passing! He was such a nice & kind man. I will always remember when he came and helped me plant my trees when I bought my land in Dinwiddie. I pray that God will comfort you and your family during this most difficult of times. God Bless and keep you all.
