Evelyn and family,
We are so sorry to hear about Marlin's death - we will always remember him as being a fun loving guy who loved to talk to family and friends. Since we now live in Bella Vista, Arkansas we will be unable to attend his wake or funeral, but we send out deepest sympathy to you and the rest of the family. We sincerely wish we could be with you during this sad time.
