My condolences to the family of Marsh White. Marsh White was a man of faith and devotion. Without knowing it Marsh gave me inspiration to go to college, and for that alone I, and my family will be eternally grateful. RIP Mr. Marsh White.
Sincerely,

First and Foremost, my thoughts are extended to the bereaved family. Morris and I go back to the dog days of Fannin County Texas. Morris's aunt said one time that the so- called blacks of Fannin County Texas were poorer than poor. Only if you have an imagination for that thought, since imagination is one of two purposes the mind serve. I will always remember Morris for what he accomplished and what he stood for.
I was sadden for his passage and will miss him deeply. To a brother I loved
May peace be upon you.

Marsh taught me practical mercy and grace. He helped me understand who I was in Christ, perfect in the sight of God. I will miss his "good morning, good morning, good morning" no matter the time of day when he answered his phone. I will miss that voice. He and my husband addressed each other as "Blood", because they were blood brothers in Christ.

Marsh and I went to Bonham High School together. I admired him then for being a true gentleman, his soft spoken voice, and his sweet spirit. We reconnected as Facebook friends and he inspired me with every devotional. Marsh was an anointed servant of our Lord. His home going leaves a hole in all of our hearts, but we will meet him again. What a glorious celebration heaven must have had when Marsh met Jesus face to face! My prayer is for peace and comfort for all who loved our dear friend.
