May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
I only knew Marcellus for seven months, but he made a difference in my life. I moved to Suffolk in May and he openly welcomed me to Wal-Mart 1687 when I transfered there. He always made the workday enjoyable and we will miss him.

"MARCELLUS" will always have a special place in our hearts. We suffer with you in this lost; but we will never know your pain...we can only imagine. We will truly miss him (alot); he was known all over our store (#1687) as a fun guy, one that could make ev'ry body laugh. In this earthly lost we're real sad but most important: Heaven has gain in our lost. So family look to the hills whence cometh your help; and may GOD continue to bless each of you; and know he will see you through. ~~ Mel J. Dept. Mgr. ~~

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

To all who loved Tony all I can say is what we'll miss seeing most is that SMILE!!! Never saw him when he didn't have it. Became a friend of Shirlene's when Tony was knee high to a grasshopper. So many memories for a such a short life. God makes no mistakes and our job is not to reason why, but to trust in His judgement and lean not to our own understanding. Tony's job on earth is over and he now resides in his heavenly home. Let us live our lives as God would have us to, so that we'll meet up with Tony again in heaven.

May God bless you in your time of sorrow. I cannot begin to imagine what you're going through right now. No words can ever give you the comfort that Gods word can give. I will miss Tony's smile and the hug he always gave me when he visted his family. Our families have know each other forever and I watched Tony grow up to be the man that he was. He will be missed by many.

When we were told of Tony’s untimely death, we were shocked. Everyone will remember his kindness and that beautiful smile. Tony will always be a part of you, because he remains in your hearts.
Hold your heads up high because you now have another guardian angel watching over your family. It is difficult now; but seek comfort in knowing that he is in a better place than any of us right now. Give thanks to God for the opportunity that was given for all of you to enjoy Tony. No longer is there a need for sorrow, because he is rejoicing in Heaven.
We will continue to keep your family in our thoughts and prayer, and if you need anything let us know.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
