To the Smith Family, I´m deeply sorry for your loss. I do have good memories of Marvin coming out to the farm with his fishing hat, his ice chest, and a smile. He usually had two or three stories to tell. I can truly say that Marvin and LeRoy, and their families, were always good neighbors and good friends to me and my family.
To the family, I´m so sorry for your loss. I can and will do anything to help with any needs your family may have. You are in our hearts and prayers. I am truly sorry.
