l know Marvin will be missed greatly by all and l am going to miss him also. We all may grieve losing him but God saw his struggle to stay here with us and God decided it was time for him to rest. A couple months ago, he told Marcus and me, when you leave or end a conversation dont say "Bye". The last thing he said to Marcus and l was "Later". RIP my friend, Marcus and I will look to see you "Later." Missing you already,

Frances Baker and Marcus G. Smith

For My Uncle I have so many memories of the time we spent together, And even though you're here, I'll cherish them forever. I miss your laughter so much and the mischief in your smile. When I fell the sadness welling up I'll remember it a while For though you are no longer here, You'll never be truly gone. So as long as I have these memories, Your sprit will carry on. So until I see your smile again, I'll hold you in my HEART and MIND. RIP Uncle Buzzard I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU Your Neice Kim
