Dear Doris,
We were both saddened and shocked when we saw on FB that Marvin was gone from us. It seems like he was much too young to pass away. Wish we could figure out God’s timing. We have memories going all the way back to Marvin’s childhood in South Tacoma. Later after you two were married, we so admired and loved your family and your ministry at Neighborhood church. We did not see you often but enjoyed the times we were together. We know that Jesus will be close to you during these difficult days of grieving. Hugs and many prayers.
Louise and Paul

Dear Doris, We have so many wonderful memories of Marvin from our days at Neighborhood Church, in Bellevue. Such a gentle, kind hearted person who certainly reflected Christ in his life. Our sincere Love and prayers to you and your family during these days of separation, very bittersweet. Looking forward to that day soon when we will be reunited for eternity. We love you!!
