I didn’t know Marshall but I know many of his friends and relatives. It is an example of a life taken too soon. I hope that you can find the strength of each other to get through this as I’m sure you will. I will think of you often and offer many prayers.
Marshall, I cannot believe it. One of the best humans ever. One of best nurses I worked with. Always made me laugh, always so proud of his wife and kids, Rest in Heavenly Peace friend.
Marshall was a joy to work with! He was always generous with his smiles and always ready to lend a hand. He will surely be missed.
