What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear. At a time like this, words cannot express the sadness that we feel on the event of Marv going home. He was always one to tell of the joy the Lord gave him, and encouraged everyone to trust in Him when things were dark. We're sad, he's happy, and who will crush my hand with a handshake at church that only Marv could do?

Grandpa always said that we should be happy and filled with joy when we pass on to meet the Lord and that "there should be no tears." While his sudden passing is very difficult, I find much comfort in his advice and he will be missed very much.
I love you Grandpa!!
