My uncle has been a part of who I am today. He has guided me through this life with a helping hand. As I sit here preparing for his home going, I am saddened because he is no longer here, but joyful he is no longer suffering. Thank you aunt Kim for being the one to bring joy to his life at the times when he did not know he needed it. Uncle Marshall will always be remembered and greatly missed.
