My sincere sympathy on the death of your dad. I know how you will miss him, but be comforted that he is a beautiful place, a loving place, he is home.
I will always remember his laugh, his jokes, and all the stories he would tell. He was a wonderful Uncle to me and a father that you were all so fortunate to have shared your life with.
Our memories of Marvin go back well over twenty years and they are good memories. He was a Godsend in our lives when he worked at Roselawn and helped us through the death of our son. We will never forget his kindnesses to us. May he rest in peace.
This is a nice site and a good idea. I know that you all know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Uncle Marvin (your dad) was like a dad to me at one time in my life. He will always have a piece of my heart I loved him greatly.
