Please know how sorry we are for the loss of Marvin. I don't know that I have a childhood memory that doesn't involve one of you two girls. I love you like you were my own family and in many ways you are. As long as I can remember my family I've known you guys. You used to talk about Ruby and Gerry talking and laughing in heaven. Well if they get too loud now and bother the other angels, Marvin will give them that look and they'll calm down. I can picture Judy meeting Marvin in Heaven with "Hidy Marvin and him just smiling. Again, I love you all and I'm truly sorry.

Dear Shelia, Kim and all the family, I am very thankful I got to be there with you today. I thought it was a very nice sevice, I am thankful you had the military part, with bagpipes, guns and taps even that part really gets to me.
Love you all Aunt Libby

Dear Kim and Shelia,
I am so sorry for your loss. He was a very large part of my childhood and I would not give up one second we spent together. I always knew I would come home from every horse show with a blue ribbon. He was my blue ribbon! He has always been my very special blue ribbon and will remain so always.
You both are in my thoughts and prayers.
