Mrs. Ruth, I was so saddened to hear of Marc’s death, just today in fact. Marc was a wonderful classmate and friend. I don’t know who had the biggest smile in school him or me.(smile) But he was a great guy to all who knew him. You and your family have my deepest sympathy.

Ruth and Johnny: Marc and I both lived in The ATL. for several years and somehow our paths never crossed.We talked on facebook several times,I just wish we could have had a whole day to talk about the good times we both had there. I cannot even begain to know just how much pain you must feel today having to say goodbye to such A great son.But he never felt the sting of death beacuase of the blood of Jesus and now he has seen the face of God and he is singing and giving praise to the heavenly father, and one day we will all walk on the streets of gold.Heaven will be a wonderful wonderful place and now it is a little brighter.He is home at last!

Sorry for your loss and thinking of your family and friends today. Marc was a very dear friend and I am grateful to have known him. Although we were colleagues, I consdered Marc to be a best friend. I continue to look at his facebook page just to see his smiling face. At times, he had such an impish grin!!

Dearest Ruth and Family. Shocked and saddened to learn of Marcus’ leaving us. I enjoyed working with him with his upbeat attitude and willingness to share his knowledge. The world is a colder place without him, and it is not the natural order of things for children to die before their parents. I have been praying for you and your family and will see you soon.

Marc and his dear mother, Ilda Ruth, blessed my life hrough the years.
Marc, like his mother, was so kind and thoughtful to my mother, Voncile Bethea. We will always be grateful for his compassionate spirit.
We express our deepest sympathy to all of the family members.

Dear Ruth,
My life is better for knowing Marc and it has been further enriched by knowing you. My life here in earth feels smaller now, but I know that we will laugh again together.
I love you,
