Marshall,

Your friends from the Bishop John Snyder School will not forget you. It made me so sad to see you leave, and I still regret it. I'm so sorry to hear this news, but you are probably in a better place now.

I want to offer my sincere condolences to all of your family.

Dear Mr and Mrs Clayton & Mr. and Mrs Schifanella and Katie-Mac,
I was saddened to hear about Marshall's passing. Many memories of our days at Grace Episcopal or playing in our back yards esp. in his where there was a boat in the carport and it magically became the batman boat or other super heros came flooding back to me.
Please, know that all of you are in my prayers and Marhsall will forever be in my boyhood memories.
