    My deepest condolences to all in your family. What a beautiful legacy he leaves behind. Marv was my Sunday School teacher back when I was seven or eight years old and I still remember the picnic he took the class on. I also had the blessing of singing with him in the choir and various men’s quartets. My prayer is that you all remember the best times you had with him–forever.
    Blessings,
    Paul and Lin Beugel

    I don’t know your family, but saw this on the Roseland facebook group. I’m so sorry for your loss. You must be so proud to have had him in your lives…someone who loved God and sacrified for our country, and who was blessed with a large and loving family. I will keep you all in my prayers. God bless you with His perfect love and comfort.
