Oh brother how I will miss you so. Words can never express what you meant to me. I’m so blessed that we were so close since we were born. You’ve always been my rock and my hero. I know you wouldn’t want us to be so sad but it’s so hard when you were such a huge part of my life. You will live in my heart forever and I can’t wait until we meet again. I love you all the way to downtown Houston and back Buddy.

God Bless your Family and shine down on them in this time of need.

There is never any words that can help a grieving spouse so I am not gonna even try to say the same thing everyone hears about how it is gonna be ok. Instead I will say that Marc was a good man, a loving dad and friend. He always knew how to cheer someone up. I remember him joking most of the time and as tears roll down my face this morning a smile also came remembering the sack of potatoes night we all had. The laughter that we all shared and so many more. It definately wont be the same without you Marc! I know you are probably up there telling GOD jokes right now. Marc is with you Cindy and he is gonna be there watching over you and the kids cuz that was the type of man he was. God bless all of you in your time of need. Love yall.
