It is seems inconceivable that both Marlon and Manny are no longer here in the physical world with us. They both touched our lives in such beautiful ways and only now with their absence do we feel their impact so very deeply. My only solace is picturing them happily together again. Love you both beyond words.

Marlon always had a smile on his face, a kindness and joy I will forever remember. I look forward to playing tennis with my friend in heaven someday.

Marlon,
You were such a treasure and I will miss and love you forever. You were so good to dad as his tennis partner and as support after his stroke. Hopefully the two of you are in each other's presence and laughing about old times.

Marlon (Joe, as I have known you my whole life), I am so grateful and proud have had you in my world. You were such a beam of joy to everyone, so kind, giving and willing to give a smile. Even on your darkest day, you made sure to lift up others and spread hope and light. A true loss to the world, but your spirit lives on in all the people you have touched along the way-and there are SO many. You have been so loved, because you are just impossible not to adore. So thankful to be related to such a fantastic man. Rest in paradise, you deserve it.

Marlon,
You have been a bright light in my life for 27 years. You were the bother I never had and a close friend that gave me so much laughter, strength, guidance and so many loving hugs. I will never let our beautiful memories fade. I'm going to miss your smile, your laugh, and most of all your beautiful
spirit.
Fly free like the owls you loved.
I love you more
Mary Bridge.
