To say that I am devastated would be an understatement! Pastor Duncan may have lost a member, but Corey lost his best friend! We worked together, traveled together, cried together, baptized together, laughed together, prayed together, and even started the church together! When my father died, you were there for me! When your father died, I was there for you! Marlon was so significant to so many people! He always strived to educate, enlighten, empower and encourage others! He was always present and ready as well as willing to lend a helping hand. He was always the life of the party and kept everyone laughing and in stitches! To know him, was to love him and he will be missed dearly! Please pray for the Sam Family, the Lawrence Township Family and the City of Hope Community Church Family! We definitely lost a legend but Marlon's love and legacy will forever live on! I love you my brother!
