Well Dad it has been almost four years since we have seen you last. Carl and I speak of you often with many laughing memories, though it doesn't take the place of you. Until we meet again, please know you are not forgotten.

Dear Bev, my dear teaching buddy,

I was so saddened to hear of the loss of Marvin. I reminded the kids about the clown toybox Marvin had made for them when they were young. They did remember it, he was such a craftsman. From all your Christmas cards, I know how much fun you and Marvin always had together. We will continue to remember you and Marvin in our thoughts and prayers. He is now waiting for you with open arms. He was a very special person, as are you, Bev.

My love to you!!

Brian & I met Marvin at a couple of rockhound trips.We enjoyed getting to know him ,he was a lot of fun to be with. We looked for him at the last rock trip to the Petrified Forest, now we know why he wasn't there. Our prayrs are with you.

MLK said it best: "Home at last, home at last" He is at peace at last. Bev,I lost my Patsy Lou to cancer April 4, 04. She battled bravely like Marv. I've learned Love does not end at death. Our loved ones remain near by waiting for us to complete our journey to once again be together. I truly believe this and somehow it gives me great comfort. I hope sharing this does for you too. Much love and unending support to you at this difficult time

Dear Bev,



I just returned from some travels on May 25 and was shocked and so very sad to receive your letter saying that you have lost your dear husband, Marv. My heart and prayers go out to you, Bev.



I'm sorry that we had so little time together here in Prescott. The time I did spend with you and Marv was wonderful. I loved your enthusiasm for this beautiful place.



It's five years since I lost Eddie after 47 wonderful years together. It does get a little easier as time goes by.



I'll be in touch with you, Bev.



Love, prayers, and deepest sympathy.

Bev,

We have been thinking and praying for you and Marvin since Christmas. Your letters have been a testament of your true love for him. One could only hope that their marriage could be as strong as the two of yours. There was a reason you came in to his life or should I say, he came into yours. I am happy the two of you did have the time you had together in Arizona because it seemed as if you were so happy there together....looking for rocks (as you would call it) and always remodeling or creating something. May the days ahead give you peace knowing that Marvin is now with God.



Our thoughts and prayers are with you

Dear Bev and Family,

I would like to express my deepest condolenses to you and your family on loss of your loved one



It is very strange how I was just thinking (mental telepathy?) of the two of you last week.



Marv and I always felt a kinship with one another. I guess it's because his father said that we were "kissin cousins." Also, the two of us worked together on the Worth Zoning Board of Appeals together to make Worth a better Village to live in.



Till we meet again.

Bev and Family,

We are deeply saddened by the loss of a wonderful person and Brother-in-law.

Bev, I'm sure Marvin has already submitted His plans for the deck up in heaven,for You and Him to continue watching the Sunsets and Sunrises.(Hopefully He takes His time, getting it finished.)

May all Your happy memories help You through this very difficult time.

I just want to say thanks Dad for all the memories we have shared over the years. I look forward to the future after the resurrection because we have a lot of rocks to find and places to explore. Until then I know you will be safe in Jehovah's memory.
