Opal,
I was so sorry to hear of Marshall's death. He was always such a kind, sweet man and I know you will miss him terribly. I always remember how sweet he was to give me a ride home from Grant's or to greet me when I came to your home. I ask God to Bless you and Donald and the family during this difficult time. Love, Karen

Opal, Don and family,
We are sorry we could not see all of you and attend funeral services because of both of us being sick. I have lots of fond memories of Uncle Marsh. I remember when in the Air Force the kindness of your relatives, it meant a lot to me and all the other memories through the years. All of you each day through the years have been in our prayers and thoughts. God loves each of us and decided it was time to take home Uncle Marsh. He is at rest now. We are praying for you all.
