Dearest Linda, Brian, Janel, grandchildren, family and friends, Jim and I send our love and condolences to all of you, at this time. You all honored Marv in so many ways by the way you banned together and took such wonderful care as his health worsened. There are way too many examples to list, but some stick in my mind. Linda, the way you cared for him, hired Christian caregivers when you needed to work. The way you made hard decisions with grace and dignity.Brian, the way you took him bowling as long as possible, something he so enjoyed, always honoring your Dad. Janel, always being there to help your Mom, taking him to see the games your boys were in, so he could enjoy them. And to the grandchildren who spent vacations and holidays, and Saturdays visiting him and always showing respect for their Grandma and Grandpa!! And finally, finding the best care you could for Marv. Wishing he could have stayed in his home, but knowing what he needed 24 hours a day! And all the visits to him in his new home. You have all been an example to others! We need more families like this! I am sure Marv is smiling down from Heaven, and God is too! Well done, good and faithful servants! Much love, Jim and Linda
