Words from Siblings:

Angel:
“Marcus I really wish I could tell you I love you one last time but in my heart I know that you felt that already. I would always pray for you at night to see better days because I knew that God was looking out for you. I just want to tell you how proud I am of you for pushing through on your hardest days. Even I know how hard that is. I can just remember you hugging me the day of my
graduation party and told me “you are the big sister and I look up to you.” I broke down because I never knew how much you loved me. Your heart was so pure and that’s one thing I loved about you.  Although you’re not here with us anymore, I have peace knowing that you felt loved by me. Fly high
big bro.”

Savannah:
“Marcus I always loved you but didn’t know how to show it to you. I wish I could’ve took your pain away and told you how much I loved you. I will miss and cherish our outings.This past year is the closest we have got and I’m forever grateful. Seeing the butterfly brought me so much peace knowing
you are ok and at peace. Forever in my
heart. Love your sister Savannah.”
