Marvin & Shirley became our friends and encouragers while attending Creek Valley Church in Edina MN.
They loved us unconditionally and included us as if we were their own children.
Marvin always had a witty comment about the situation at hand. Usually made everyone laugh. He wore the most fashionable ties and that fella loved a good buffet.
Toward the end of his days he would cry when people would come to see him. He was grateful and humbled.
I’ll always remember how he thanked the Lord in corporate prayers for his provision especially for providing a good and faithful wife.
Enjoy Jesus and being out of pain Marv. We will help Shirley while she waits. We will join you soon and sit with you at that banquet table.
