Even though I never knew him, he was my Dad's first cousin. My Dad was James Warren who died in 1986 at the age of 67. I have talked with Marvin's sister named Beatrice Dowdy. In fact I have learned most of what I know about the Warren family from her. My Dad was a wonderful man and I am sure Marvin was as well. May God be with you.

I'm truly sorry for your loss Mrs. Warren. I only met you briefly for a couple of hours when he was admitted at Columbus Hospice on Friday; I was actually the nursing student. Mrs. Warren, you seemed to be a very devoted and caring wife. Stay strong during this difficult time. May God Bless you and your family. In the obiturary, I noticed that Mr. Warren was born in Cordele, Ga; which is my hometown. You are in my prayers.

My boys and I both miss our "Awesome Daddy" and "Wonderful loving husband" dearly who rest peacefully in his special place just as Mr. Marvin will!
