The loss of Marquis is difficult to bear, but our special memories help us cope. May the love of our friendship carry you through your grief. We will cherish the memories forever.

Geraldine,
When we have remembered everything, we grow afraid of what we may forget. His face, his voice, his smile? But, there is no need to fear forgetting, because your heart will always remember. My heart breaks for you. There is nothing I can say that will change the way you feel, so I won't even try. My prayer for you is that as each day passes you will feel a sense of peace in knowing that you, are just days closer to spending eternity with your son and Your Heavenly Father. Continue to trust God and keep Him first in all things.
Love you always,

And when we have remembered everything,
we grow afraid of what we may forget.
A face, a voice, a smile? No need to fear forgetting, because the heart remembers always. My heart breaks for you. There is nothing I can say that will change the way you feel, so I won't even try. My prayer for you is that as each minute passes you will feel a sense of peace in knowing that you, too, are one minute closer, to being with your son and your Father forever. Continue to trust God and keep Him first in all things. Love you always,

My heart aches for you. I believe that lost of a child is the greatest pain. However, I do know that the Lord can ease any pain. Please remember that the world has been a better place because of your son. He and also your family has touched the life of so many people.
