While I am mourning the loss of my friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth. I think about all the years that we had with Marcus; that is how long God has been waiting for him. Good friends are like stars--you don't always see them, but you know they are there. Everyone has a best friend during each stage of life, only a precious few have the same one. Rest in peace my friend and I will miss you always.

To God be the glory for the many things He has done!! My deepest sympathy goes out to the family for the lost of your loved one. To me another classmate has gone on to meet our maker and I pray for those of us who are still remaining here on this side of the Jordan. To the family of Marcus, I wolud just like to say Look to Jesus for truly He is watching over you and all of us. Keep your hands in the hands of the one who made the heavens and the earth, for He will take care of you and if there be any that doesn't know Jesus in the pardon of there sins I pray that you seek Him and find Him for He is the only way to the Father. I had the pleasure of knowing Marcus since High School and I thank God for the years we knew one another, but God has called him home now and I pray that one day when this life is over that we'll meet again, but until then Rest-In-Peace. Rev. Willie M. Flennoy class of 1974 Polytechnic High School
