Please accept my deepest sympathy.

i miss you so much its been a long time but im still here and i will you allways you are with god now so erery thing is good love you allways BRO. MR.BILL  

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

Six years have passed since last I saw your face..I miss you and need you to know...I loved you big bastard....still do..

I miss my daddy so much love you poo

He is my dad my best friend and one of the most important person in my life I love that man with all my heart and miss him every day of my life

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.

I still miss you Dad.

Happy Late Birthday Dad. =] I Love You... Some things just don't change. =]

TOMORROW WILL BE A MONTH. ONE THING I WAS SURE OF. WAS I'D BE OUT OF TEARS BY NOW. NOT EVEN CLOSE. I LOVED DAD MORE THAN I CAN EVER EXPRESS IN WORDS. WHICH IS KINDA NEW FOR ME. I USUALLY HAVE LITTLE PROBLEM GETTING THE WORDS OUT..... HARD TO TALK OR TYPE AROUND A BIG LUMP I CAN'T SWALLOW

I love u papa I miss u so much. An I wish u was here right now today has been a hard day. I kno ur watching me from above so it makes it a little easy but I live u an miss u

"HEAVENLY FATHER, MY MOTHER MRS. MAXINE BARNFIELD, WAS RECENTLY STRICKEN ILL. I HUMBLY ASK FOR HER RETURN TO HEALTH. SHE IS ONE OF YOUR FINEST CREATIONS. IF BY SOME UNLIKELY CHANCE I HAVE EARNED ANY GRACE.IN THIS LIFE. I ASK IT BE GIVEN TO HER..GIVE HER THE STRENGTH TO OVERCOME. THIS AFFLICTION. THIS I PRAY IN JESUS' HOLY NAME AMEN....

THEY SAY THAT GOD DOESN'T GIVE US MORE OF A BURDEN THAN HE THINKS WE CAN BEAR.... I HAVE OF LATE BEEN WONDERING IF HE JUST MIGHT TRUST ME JUST A LITTLE TOO MUCH..

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.

JUST ASKED MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER IF SHE HAD ANY WORDS SHE FELT LIKE ADDING HERE....UNFORTUNATELY NOT QUITE READY AS OF YET.... EXCEPT THAT SHE WISHES ALL OF YOU OUT THERE A LONG HAPPY LIFE,,,LOVE AS STRONGLY AS YOU CAN.....

My father was liked and respected by everyone,., tough as old boot leather, then he'd show his tender hearted side.. he held my uncles's hand as he lay dyeing, stood by his bed holding his hands for fourteen days. untill uncle Donny breathed his last breath. he could be loud and course. or tender. He taught me to be a man.how to think like a man,i love you daddy....Darren

Dad you were tough on us when we needed it and tender when we needed your shoulder to cry on. Thank you for being my DAD!!! You made me the person i am today. I miss you and love you! You were always there for me even when you were upset with me...REST IN PEACE POPPA.... You will be forever in my heart and on my mind.. Love you dad

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

he was one of the reasons that i am going after my Bachelors degree and i am dedicating this degree to him because i know he will be proud when i get it! i love you daddy Marvin and you will foralways be in my heart! Rest in Peace!

in life it takes a special person to have taken care of as many kids as dad did, he helped all of us to be who we are today, i love u daddy and miss u so very much

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...

continued...
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

continued..
me with is the honor of looking into the mirror and seeing a piece of you everyday.
I Love You Dad.
ALWAYS, Janice Kay.

He was very special to alot of people we all loved and cherished him. He was there for all of us in our time of need I can truly say he will be missed but i will keep in my heart forever I love you daddy Marvin!! <3 <3 <3

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.

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.
