Marvin was always giving and happy to share his talents. He helped with mowing at my mom's farm, he caught a couple of racoons from the barns, and he shared the fruits of his labor from his garden. He was always kind and giving and surely missed. Doris I hope at the anniversary of his death, that you and your family are in good health and at peace. My mother, Karis Schroeder, hopes this email finds you well.

Karis Schroeder and Bob Niese had many a happy card game with Marvin and Doris Niese. The memories made Karis smile. She wishes you comfort and peace Doris and we are sorry for your loss! Prayers and blessings! Cheryl Hinojosa

May your family and friends help you through the this time of grief. I know that Marvin was alway coming over to our house especially on Saturday for coffee and to talk with dad (Leo). I remember he would talk about mowers and mowing grass too. He would always ask how I was doing every time I came home from the military to visit too. Linda Roof
