Marion H. Montgomery Jr.

I realize I'm almost a year too late in writing this but my family and I just found out about Mr. Mongomery's passing a few months ago. I will always remember the warmth My sisters and I found in the house next door. Playing with Mr. Montgomery's and Mrs. Dot's grandchildren,the yearly Easter egg hunts and the giant magnolia tree are memories I will always remember fondly. Mr. Montgomery was a huge part of my childhood and I will never forget seeing him, cigar in hand, enjoying a newspaper or...

To the Montgomery family, my love and prayers are with each one of you. You all have memories that will help you though these times. He was a blessing to so many and I know he helped me. May God continue to keep you in his arms.

Any of Marion's former students, correspondents, or colleagues who may wish to contribute a rememberance essay or an essay on some aspect of his work for inclusion in a memorial issue of The Christendom Review, please contact Richard Barnett, Editor, at [email protected].

Dear Marion III, I am sorry to hear about the lost of your father. My prayers are with your mother and sisters as well. God bless your family.

Marion taught me at Darlington School in Rome & the University of Georgia. He was an outstanding teacher. Later, when I in the Georgia House of Representatives we became friends. He was such a gentleman & fine writer. I like & admired him. God bless the Montgomery family,

Sorry for your loss. I will always have such fond memories of Mr. Montgomery at St. Stephens. May God Bless You All.

To the Montgomery family,
Thank you for allowing Marion to be a part of my life, and thank you all for allowing me to share in his farewell. I count him as a major influence in my calling to be a writer and teacher. You and he will always be close in my thoughts.

To all the Montgomery family (and specially to my dear "Miss Dot" and Priscilla, I love you all and are holding you close to my heart and remembering you in prayers. I loved spending time at your home when I was a schoolgirl and treasure your friendships today. I know that you have a lifetime of wonderful memories to comfort you in days ahead. Mr. Marion was a treasure, for sure.
