Mary Frances and Diana,

You are in my heart and prayers as you go through the loss of your father. Marvin was a fine person and was always a favorite of the Blackmon boys during the Monk reunions. (I'm sure that Marvin's love of taking them out on the lake didn't hurt, because they certainly enjoyed that!) I talked to Mother (your Aunt Opal) and she sends her love and sympathy. Love, Sarah
