We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Marvin was a great man,I will always remember all of the stories he told me about the war. Marvin let me bowhunt last year and I asked him why he doesnt lease out his farm to other hunters,he told me friends are more important than money. From our conversations Im sure he has alot of friends,I know I was! Mrs. Boone if you need anything let me know,same for you Alvin.
So sorry to hear of Marvins passing. He was a very caring man who loved life and family. He will be truly missed. Cherish the memories.
All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
You are in my thoughts this morning as I know it is difficult for you today with the visitation this evening. I wanted to share this with you as it lifted my heart and spirit as I was thinking of you and the family. I hope the family will open this site for you. It is beautiful and says so much to help understand your loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.
On behalf of the Western Illinois Sustainable Agriculture Society, our deepest sympathy for the passing of one of our earliest and most active members. We are memorializing Marvin to the Blessing Foundation for Hospice.
My husband and I were in Texas visiting my son, Ragan, when my father called to tell us of your loss.
Marvin left a wonderful legacy through his children and grandchildren. They are certainly a living memorial of a life well-lived.
Your family will certainly remain in my thoughts and prayers.
