My Uncle Marv was an attentive listening ear for me and anyone. Time and compassion for others describes him best. Marv led a life of generousity, cherished his family, brought out smiles with his unceasing wit, accepted life's burdens 'head on' and used his spiritual gifts for the betterment of humankind. Rest in peace, my sweet kind uncle!

We thought the world of Marv, worked with him on many K of C projects and initiatives. He was always pleasant to be around, with a ready smile for anyone. We regret that we were out of town at the time of the services, but will continue to remember him in our prayers.

When I made the truth my own I prayer that if Jehovah would help me raise Marquis according to his way, I would give my son to Him. A very big deal for me. If course I already knew that all things belong to Jehovah, but the prayer built up my trust in Jah. After that I never doubted. I aimed for my son's heart always. The years fly by. He lives in another state. He's still seeking to please Jah.

Marvin, always was willing to help out anyone in need. His life was full of challenges, but he was a person who over came those difficulties with the help of his very supportive wife. Heaven received a good one this week.
