My deepest condolences. May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...
John 11:32-45
32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

No matter how many times life tells us "nothing is forever", it is often hard to bear when it becomes reality. In times like these, God asks us to stay strong. If there is one lesson I've learned, it is-You'll never be able to ACCEPT it but in time, You'll learn to live with it. His memories will last forever!!!! My prayers are with you.
We in Milwaukee, WI wish to extend our love and heartfelt condolences to your entire family. Mr. Marshall is in his perfection with Our Lord and we will all see him (again).
