So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4"With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It is a difficult time to go through. Marvin was a great neighbor and a genuine friend that always said what was on his mind. He was the first at Mama's house with a good home cooked breakfast for us after my Dad passed away. I will never forget that. I will miss him so much buzzing around the community stopping to talk to the neighbors and sharing what he grew in his garden. My prayers are with you.
