Pastor Sharon, our sincere condolences to you and the family. God bless you and the family. Denise Credle

Pastor Cousin Sharon and the entire Boomer-Burden Family, we loved Pastor Marcus and will always remember the love he had for his family, church and community. We believe he was a true faith man; his outreach work was evident of his love for people and that was a testament of the Christ within him. His generosity will be missed by untold numbers in the community. Our prayers, thoughts and sincere condolences go out to you during this challenging time; the Lord will always be with you! Love always, Bishop Charles & Pastor Marion Smith Dudley and the New Beginnings Ministry of Faith Church Family, Havelock NC

Cousin Sharon and family words may not wipe away your tears, hugs my not erase the pain but the memories of Marcus will forever be in your heart! Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult journey! Much love from Gregory and Gloria Russell

Sharon & Burden Family: My prayers are with you at this time! We know that God's Plan is not the same as our own, which is why we draw close to Him during our losses. Marcus had a heart for God and was always about His Father's business. He is in the bosom of the Father, seeing Jesus face-to-face. He will truly be missed. There are no words to express what you & your family are experiencing right now, but know God is a Comforter, He is closer than a friend. I worked and known Marcus for years and learned that he was man of his word, and has a hear to do what is right. My prayer is that you receive comfort and strength in the Lord and look to Him in ALL things. Remember He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you!

Love, Gloria Meadows & Family

Lord Jesus Sharon, life brings us our woes. I'm so sorry, I'm weeping with you because you have been through a lot. You know the Lord and that he is with you. You are still grieving from June, now your grief which never stopped, is upon you again. There are no answers except to trust God which I know you do. Try and hang in there. God is always near and he has not, nor will he ever, leave you. We have been preparing for days like this our entire adult lives, yet, we are never really prepared emotionally. I love you and I will be in touch. Mrs. Pamela Simmons-Beatty, Durham, NC

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
