Marcus was kind, considerate, humble, diversely talented, warmly attentive, fun and a very special cousin. I will always cherish his love and the memories that go back to our childhood. Though we will greatly miss him, one thing is certain, he has reached the reward he sought throughout his life; found his resting place in the arms of his savior; and he will spend eternity among the righteous because he surely is a righteous soul. I hear him shouting out, "hallelujah!" and I feel joy at the hearing. So while our hearts ache with sadness, let's soothe our aching hearts by joining him in his shout of victory, and joyously sing "hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!".
