To: "Dianne and Big Marshall." This is Henrine, from Baronne Street. I was so very shock and heartbroken to hear about y'all son Lil Marshall, who had step from time to entity. Forever to be with the LORD JESUS. I haven't seen him since he was a very little boy. But, Lil Marshall, had grown up to be a very handsome young man. I thanked GOD for the 35yrs that y'all had with him here in earth. Wish that I could have been there for y'all. But was in Baton Rouge, LA for a funeral service of a family member of mines on the same day. I did take time out to pray for both sides of y'all families. May GOD Bless and I LOVE Y'ALL in JESUS Name.

I am so saddened by this! Marshall and I go way back to the 7th grade at Edna Karr. We had a friendship that lasted until the time I met my husband who passed three weeks ago. Over the years I would search social networks trying to find him to see how he was doing. Imagine how I felt when I saw his name on FB with an obituary attached to it. To the family, you have my prayers and deepest sympathy. I really can not believe this. To this day, I still have so many great memories because Marshall was a wonderful person with a good heart. In the 10 years that we shared together he truly touched and inspired my life. I could go on and on because he was definitely one of the most special people in my life. Family I know your pain, but believe that God will see you through. Love, Keisa
