Dear Betty and family,
We were truly honored and blessed to have met and become friends (like family) with such a wonderful couple, Betty & Marv.
Our morning coffee and occasional Saturday night get togethers were always filled with love & laughter.
Marvs genuine smile and gentle nature were contagious, A true gentleman.
He was easy going and cared about everyone and you felt it.
We will miss him tremendously but we will cherish the memories of the many times we were fortunate enough to spend with him.
He will forever be in our hearts.
Until we meet again (I’ll bring the cookies)
RIP Marv
We love you.
Dad, I will always love you. We had great times together, joking around, getting me out of trouble, and just having fun. I will always cherish the moments we had together. You were always my mentor and my rock. I have always been proud to be your son and to call you my father. I will miss you very much Dad. God speed and rest in peace
Dear Betty and family, we mourn with you in your time of loss. Marv will be missed beyond measure! He was such a genuine person and his kindess, humor and smile will be greatly missed.
Rest in Peace Marv
Betty, Jim and Jill. Having just gone through the loss of my own father a few days ago, I truly understand the profound grief you must be feeling. There are no words that can truly ease the pain, but please know that I’m thinking and praying for you and your family.
