Dear Ones,
I visit you a brief moment to honor the life of Marvin Powers. This kind gentle man blessed me and brought much joy to my time with you. Marvin was a gift from God. He offered love and kindness to all. Here is my sentiment of truth I wrote in 1997. It seems a fitting way to honor Marvin. I used to love sending his custom greeting cards with the latest spectacular photos of his creation.

I am deeply grateful for Marvin´s genuine love and care that he shared generously with all who knew him. His clam presence is my first memory of him. He was quick to smile and offer a welcome. Marvin was a person you always looked forward to spending time with.

I pray for his family and all who knew and loved him to be comforted and supported. May his gracious life be celebrated and honored fully. This world has lost a good person.
Love
Chuck Hough

Dear Patricia, Maryellen and Family,
I was so sorry to read of Marvin's death. I had just spoken to him a few weeks before when our cousin, Donna, had lost her son. I always loved Marvin and his brothers and his dad and mom who was known to us as Aunt Gus. She was my mother's sister. We loved when our Mother would take us to their house and we would get to enjoy the delicious food and playing with our cousins. God bless until we meet again. I will miss running into you and Patricia at the Harris Teeter. Prayers for the family.

Marvin and I shared many momories on Ballahack Road. We were close in age and my step-father (Lawrence Powers) was his uncle. We experienced Northwest Baptist Church together, Royal Ambassador meetings, riding in his father´s 1928 Model A Ford, helping with chores on his father´s farm, attending Hickory Elementary School and Great Bridge High School, and pick-up baseball games. Marvin has truly left a positive mark on this world. Way to go, "Turtle".

To the family, I´m sorry for your loss of a beloved husband , Dad and Uncle.
May you rest in peace uncle Marvin.
May your wings take to far better place than being sick. Always love you Uncle Marvin. Tell we meet again

Mr. Powers was such an outstanding man! My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.
