Our prayers and thoughs are with you and your family at this time of grief. The tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand.The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land.The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains. For every joy that passes,something beautiful remains. May you find peace and comfort during these difficult moments.

Uncle Barney called me on Saturday and informed me that Pops was very ill and did not have much time. I conveyed my condolences at that time. In checking online, I found out of his passing today and I am very saddened to hear about this. My heart and prayers go out to family and friends during this time of need. Although in the past couple of years I have been estranged from the family, I have very fond memories of the times we have spent together over the years and I will always regard Pops, Uncle Barney, and many members of the Marshall/Lovejoy family as my family. We all have another angel up there watching our back.
So sorry to hear about your loss. My heart and prayers go out to the whole family. Pops will be missed.
Upon hearing of the passing of Pop Marshall I quickly remembered the times and laughs that we all had in Bible talk with-in the Mature Ministries. Pop was a very special person and immediately loved by everyone all those who knew him.
My heart and Condolences to his family and friends. he will sorely be missed by everyone. and as he sits on the right hand of our heavenly father, Pops says I followed the plan God laid for me. To love, to Laugh, to work or Play.My life’s been full,I’ve savored much.Prehaps my time seemed all to brief……..Do not shorten yours with undue grief….Be not burdened with tears of sorrow. but Enjoy the sunshine of the Morrows.
May God continue to bless and keep you Pop’s family in his bosom.
