Grew up with Marvin in Monroe Nc he was so respectful kind and caring sending my prayers and condolences to the Massey families
I will miss our morning greetings when Marvin came to pick up his little girl. Seeing their relationship was always a blessing to me. He thought the sun rose and set in her and she felt the same about him. I pray that she will understand that her daddy will always love her.
