Polly and family,

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I wish I could have arranged to be there today to share this in person. Mr. Marcus will be missed. I know you're proud of the legacy he has left behind but know that he also left behind a large empty place in your hearts as well.

I just have to keep reminding myself...
