Dearest Marshall:

You know that letting you go is the hardest thing we have all ever done, but the world forced us to do just that. And now it is time to also let your book be closed. So I'd like to make this last entry to tell you that, while the book is gone, your life will never be over as long as any of us are here to tell your story. So many wonderful and funny days have been shared with us, days we would have never known of had you been here, and I am so grateful to know...

Lacy & Michael
My family and I recieved your card this week. I just want you to know how much i love you and michael and the kids. All of you mean so much to me. You are in my prayers. And I pray everday that God will continue to give you and michael a peace that passes all understanding. So I love you guys and i am praying for you and your family everyday.

Hey bro,
Yesterday marked at time in my life that i will never forget, it was the year anniversery if your passing. I can't believe it's already been a year, it seem to be so long ago but yet i feel like i saw you yesterday. I wish you were still here so that you could come play lacrosse with Eric, Alex, and me at aTm so it could just be like old times. We all miss you so much. Peace out bro.

Mike and Lacy,
You have been more of a help tome then you could ever...

Well Marsh, the past year has flown by and god I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and wish so badly that I could see you again. Even if it was just for a little bit. I would give anything just to have one more hug, one more laugh, one more smile, one more memory. There's so much more I want to say but when it comes time to say it I can never find my words, but I know you can hear me. So I guess I just want to say I love you so much and I miss you and I wish we...

Marsh-
I can't believe that's it's been a year now. It's been hard year not having you with us. I would do anything for you to be here with us today, but I know that you're in a better place. You have an awesome family! None of us would have made it without them. They have been such an awesome support. I'll always love and remember you!
Steph

Oh Sweet Boy,
It can't have been a year since you've been gone, but sometimes it seem like a lifetime. As I sit here waiting for 12:37 to pass I miss you and want you just like I did one year ago. We love you and cherish every memory that we hold so dear.

Marsh - Well tonight is June 8th, 2004. Right now as I am writing this, 11:30 PM is nearing all too quickly - a moment in time exactly one year ago that I never imagined would ever be such a precious memory to me. The last moment I'd see you - the last time I'd see your face - the last time I'd hear your voice - the last time I'd see you walk away... I know I haven't written in here much. Actually, I've only written once - it's still just as hard as it was a year ago. It doesn't get easier, I...

Hey Marsh!! Well its been a while since I've signed this thing but that doesn't mean I'm still not thinking about you constantly! Prom was this weekend and I missed you so much. It was so hard just having the usual group all together and not seeing you there. I missed seeing your sweet smile just light up the whole room. We got our yearbooks on friday and there was a whole page dedicated to you, it was so sweet and so sad. Graduation is coming up and its going to be difficult to walk without...

May god be with you and your family this Easter season. Love Ann Patrick
