We wish to express our sympathy to Marvel's family. We loved Marvel. Our children always looked forward to the box of candy she sent at Christmas. We are so glad we visited her while she was at Lakeview Continuing Care Center. We will miss her.

Marvel was a very special person. When she smiled at you, your problems would just disappear. We will remember her most by her great sense of humor, her love for her family and friends. She will be in our hearts forever. We Love You Marvel.

I have so many sweet memories of the times I spent with Marvel over the years. We had some grand times. Marvel was a dear friend and even after I moved away she always kept in touch. She will be missed sorely. My heartfelt sympathy is extended to her family who she loved so dearly.

Bill, Bob and Family:
Was sure glad that I had an opportunity to say goodbye to Marvel when she was down in Lakeview continuing care. Someone told me she was there, I stopped 2 days before we moved to Phoenix. My best wishes go out to all the family, Nancy and I will truly miss her. She was one of a kind. Real special. Your family was truly blessed to have someone like Marvel in your life. We pray for you know and always and she will always be in our prayers. God bless her and you and yours. Take Care.

Marvel was the most energetic, vivacious women I had ever met. She was so full of life, wit, and ambition (even at her age!). Although I knew who briefly, she will remain an inspiration in my heart for years to come. May we all remember Marvel for how much she loved her family and life and lived each moment to the fullest!

I knew Marvel from Friend of the Court and bowled with Bob and Rose. I saw her at the car show but did not to talk to her wish I had of. Very freindly person. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
