I think about you almost everyday. You left an impression on me that will last a lifetime! I miss you so much Daddy Marvin that it hurts. I love you more than you will ever know. When you died you took a part of my heart with you, the part only meant for you... Dad and Vicky did the same they took it with them when they died. I can't believe it's been 9 years since you died. My only solace is we will see each other again. I love you

Grandpa told the best and most inappropriate jokes and didn't give half a rat's ass if somebody didn't like him. But it didn't matter because everybody loved him. I didn't see him enough. I never see any of you enough, and it wasn't really my fault but it is now.
I love you Grandpa.

Marvin truly was a great man. Im gonna miss calling and chatting with him, laughing with him on the phone. I always looked forward to our weekly conversations about whatever he wanted to talk about. Being able to get his granddaughter there to see him, see the joy he took in that, is a memory that will remain in my heart forever. You'll always be alive in my heart.

Daddy Marvin was one of a kind! When I thought I had no one he was there. He was always smiling no matter what! There is countless memories that i have but the one that stand out the most is when i got my Associates degree, i told him it is to hard and that i dont think i can finish.. he replied with one of his famous sayings "Rats a@@ you can do anything you put your heart to" he was one

January 31, 2012

My Grandpa Marvin was an amazing man, he was always there for me when i needed him. He never judged me and never condemned me. I met this man when i was 7 years old. I broke my arm and he came to my side as soon as it happend.. He taught me how to shuffle cards. He showed me magic tricks and blessed me with many memories. The last thing i told this wonderful man was that i loved him...

January 31, 2012

and that id see him soon. And i will Grandpa. Keep watching me from the window up above and i will make you proud. You blessed me with something that i can never forget and will never lose my big brown eyes. i get that from you grandpa.
Rest in Paradise. I Love You Grandpa.

Dad, i will miss you so much for the rest of my life. I can close my eyes and still see you with your amazing smile. I can listen very closely and hear your contagious laugh. No matter what happened in my life you could always make me laugh. You have blessed me with all those good memories throughout my entire life, that will be with me forever. But the greateet gift you could have blessed

January 31, 2012

I couldnt have been born into a better family and as far back as I can remember if my daddy couldnt be there for my Uncle Marvin and Aunt Maxine was. There have been a lot of trials and tribulations in my life and when I needed someone Uncle Marvin and Aunt Maxine were there. For this Im am so deeply grateful I wouldnt have known what to do without them there to help me.

January 31, 2012

I have always loved and respected both of them like a father and mother. Aunt Maxine was like the mother I always wanted not that I didnt love my own mother but she actually payed attention to me. And Uncle Marvin the same. I didnt say it enough before and I should have and I hope its not too late. I love you.

Missing my Dad.

September 14, 2017

Well it's been 5yrs. now & not a day goes by that I don't think about you dad. Mom's having a bad time without you, she doesn't try to do any of the things you might remember her doing for you or with you. She nolonger talks to anyone her depression is very high. I told you I would always be there for mom, i made you a promise on the night before you left us, you and I had a long talk, I told you I would always take care of her, I'm doing my best at keeping that promise, we miss you every day of every week of every year. There's days I wonder if I'm going to be able to keep my word. Then I relieze that my word is all I have now. No matter how bad it gets I will always take care of mom like you asked me to. I think I miss you more today than yesterday. You will always be in my heart, and in my mind... I love you Dad and I miss you so much.

January 26, 2016

I loved Uncle Marvin with all my heart. He lived with me before he went in the service, and after he got out. We had a special couch for him and my mother Sylvia was one of his older sisters that had looked out for him. I have so many stories of Marvin from his very first mariage, to him leaving with Maxine to California to live a life I am so proud to know he lived and now to know how loved he was also there.

Marvin when younger, could go into a kitchen that everyone just went and trolled for something to eat and found nothing and could come out with a plate of food that would make everyone scratch their heads, and wonder, where did he find all that food.

I think my Mom had a great deal to do with Marvins morals and being raised. She whooped him with a belt bent over her kitchen counter one time because of a wrong he did. She tore his but up. I have a video of my mom, telling when she did it.....

I have so many stories, I will at times log back in....and post another......

love all....
