To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Marcus it's been a few months since you've been gone and reality is just beginning to set in. I will never forget the times we shared in Fox Middle all the goofing around and singing. We shared so many memories together. It was an honor and a privelege for God to place you in my life. I will never forget you and all the fun we had. You will be missed but your beatiful voice will never be forgotten. May God bless the family and I will keep u in my prayers.

My deepest sympathies are with the family of Marcus. My greatest memory of Marcus was the summer we both went to Artist Collective(years ago). He was always so ambitous and caring. You will be greatly missed. Use your beautiful voice to triumph in heaven. God Bless

This little boy had been our friend.
We asked around where has he been.
This little boy had a wonderful soul.
He was so wise: he seemed 20 years old.
He had a great singing voice.
He should of been America's # 1 choice.
He sang for God from the depts of his heart.
Oh Lord can you tell us why did he have to part?
He grew up to be a good guy.
It is so hard for us to say goodbye.
We want him to know
that we really hate to see him go.
But God is the father of us all.
Marcus, we know you had to answer his call.
You our brother, we send a big kiss.
Your present we will truly miss.
We don't understand why you had to go away.
Yes we know we have to take the same trip one day.
Our friend we will always love.
Continue to watch over us from heaven above.
Always in our hearts....Your Sisters
(The Sweet Voices for Jesus)

I want to say to the mother of this young man. Thank you for sharing your wonderful son with me. He made me smile and he was a delight to know. I will always remember him. I called him my son.He was the son I never had.
And to the mother of his son, if there is anything you need for him please give me a call I would love to play a roll in his life.
Praying for you all.

my deepest sympathy to the family. I cant even express how im feeling. growing up me and marcus were like brother and sister. I remember him staying the night at my house every weekend. We use to have a group called "sweet voices for jesus" and when we would go to church and sing and everyone use to hear this big voice coming out this little body they couldnt do nothing but stand up and clap. I remember a song marcus use to tear up its called "im free".Tears are just coming down my face thinking about his voice. Its just a shame how things happen unexpected that change lives for ever. Its said god dont make any mistakes but sometimes I double guess that, even though I know I shouldnt. To his companion, doris i never met you before but every time I saw him he talked about you even if ya were beefin or on good terms. He cherished you so dearly. Raise that baby boy to the best of your ability and keep his memories alive for him.I know he expected to watch his son grow up...he still will but in spirit I will continue to keep you and your son in my prayers because I feel it for both of ya the most. Patricia, I really dont remember you because when marcus use to come spent summers and weekends at my mother house on sterling street I was young but I just wanna say stay encouraged that God is God and he wont give you more than you can bare. Just keep on keeping on. Marcus I love you always you were my mothers son she never had. WE have so many pictures of us when we were singing, playing around, eating,on our way to church. I will always cherish those pictures.

Patricia,
We have never met I am a friend of Dean & Dees. I just want to tell you how sorry I am for the loss of your son. There is nothing worse then your child being taken from you. I too lost my daughter when she just turned 21. No one will ever know the pain you are feeling.
Be strong and take it slow. Someday your sons memories will make you smile.
