Dear Melanie and family,
I am very sorry to read of your father’s death. I hope you will take some measure of support and comfort from this note as I know he will miss you as much as you will miss him. For myself, I feel my late father’s presence daily as I go about my life. I will pray that God’s blessings and comfort are and remain with you and your family. Best wishes, Bill
Marvin was a great mentor and teacher who had the ability to always look at the lighter side of things. While I was with CII and had the opportunity to work under and with Marvin, I learned a great deal from him and still to this day, find myself recalling helpful tidbits that Marvin provided to me. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family.
We just wanted to send you our sympathy and our prayers during this time of sorrow. We just remind you that your sorrow is not without the hope of seeing Marvin again. Because of what Jesus did on Calvary, and because the tomb is still empty we always have the eternal hope. We are praying for you and all the family.
Because of Calvary,
The Stewarts
