Love is sometimes like flowers. They come and they go. Love is sometimes like a vine. It grows and it grows. But now as I look through my window at night, I can see my son at the glory of Christ by His side. As the stars and the moon shine so bright, this leaves a legacy from my boy, Marvin Francis Nowling Franklin. Rest in Peace. And as the sun glitters upon the ocean, may those who know you see the gleam and the change that God put in your life. God bless you. This is your father's love. You can rest in peace with those that we came from. They are there with you in the sky, in that beautiful, deep blue sky--the place they call heaven. I know you're on your way through those pearly gates. I'll see you when I'm called. I still have work to do for our Father, here on earth. Just remember, you are always in my heart. Rest in Peace, son. With love, your father Marvin Marion Nowling.

Life is just to short. I cannot even express what is in my heart for you Kelly and for my sister Kaci and my brother Kyle. No words can begin to express the love I have for all of you and the love I have for Marvin. The last time I talked to him will always be in my heart. The last time I told him I loved him in text and on the phone will always make me thankful that he knew what was in my heart. He will always be my brother, a son, and a father. I will be praying for Amber and for the 3 sweet children he left behind. I love you lots. Marvin you are such an amazing person and now you are in Heaven but always in our hearts. Watch over us and I know that when I feel like I just witnessed a miracle here on earth I will see you standing there keeping me safe. I love you brother.

Marvin, you now sore High with our Lord , he must have needed you by his side may you walk in peace and know your Loved and missed .
