Dear Brother,  It was yesterday I was thinking about your birthday and thought I was late... Sometimes the days roll into days and time keeps timing and life keeps lifing, but we stand strong, keep showing up, and thank God for each new day and  that I'm able to remember those memories. As time moves, there's more of that behind me than ahead and it opens of for the what's, is, what was, what should be, all that but there's one thing I know, I'm so glad our Creator placed you in my life and I was able to call you "my brother."  I say all this to acknowledge that  we're having a day, a day to celebrate the day you were born.  A Happy Born Day or a Happy Birthday ! I'll never forget, if my life says the same and my memory doesn't fall.  I was thinking on today, if you were here, what kinda gift Diann would have conjured up lol.... I'm told where you're at everyday is your birthday, your Spirit is free, and I believe it.  Free as a river flowing, free as big as the sky, the universe brother. Happy 70th Birthday Love Your Sis Velma... I can still feel the wind of that day...born.. Nov 12, 1955
🙏🏿🙏🏿🪽🪽🕊🕊🎋✨🎤🎹🎼🏆📞💖❤️🕉✝️🛐☯️

Happy Father's Day brother! Just sitting here thinking about all the children besides your own you spent time with, mentored and fathered in our village.  They are all doing great! Thinking of you and missing you. Love ya, Sis <3

Dear Brother, today marks 12  years since your body has left us. You are loved and missed deeply. I see your light that shines bright. I see it in your wife, children, and grandchildren. It's all beautiful Brother. I love you continue to sleep in peace. Love you always and forever, Sister Velma ❤

Isaiah 41:6 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" 

God has done that for us. His promises are true and we stand on faith. Because you are thought of and constantly in our conversations, I know are here with us as well. I don’t know if they celebrate birthdays up there, if so,  I know you have a heavenly choir singing in harmony “🎵happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Marvin, happy birthday to you🎵❤️

Happy Dad I love you and miss you soooooo much. My life has been forever changed but I know God is still in control. We love you. Forever in our hearts.  I'm here visiting you as I write this. 😊♏️🦂🎂🙏🏾🕊🥺

Dear Brother,  just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you on today and most days. Wanted to acknowledge your birthday, " Happy Birthday." (bornday) You are loved and missed <3 Sis Velma

Greetings Brother, how time flies.  Today, this day, the 30th of April it's been 11 years. I remember exactly where I was at and what I was doing the day you left us, and the time before I got the call.  I had a doctor's appt. that day, which I ended up really needing.  But while getting ready, I felt this cool breeze pass the rt. side of my face and body and I knew, I felt you exiting this place.... a few minutes later my phone rang and I knew before I looked at the caller ID it was Diann, telling me your flesh had left us. Your battle was over. I think about you often and in a different light as time continues to move and aging continues the love gets happier because time is moving.  Childhood memories and dreams of old. Continued love knowing you are still present ...........Forever Your Sis Velma

Time, time, time. Where does it go? Time says it’s been 11 years since God called you, but my mind and heart feels deceived because it seems way more recent. So much has transpired in 11 years; horrible things and great things. But through it all, God has been a guide and protector for our life. We are still standing, trusting and believing and he hears our prayers; we are in good hands. We miss, miss, miss you still.  We are going eat our dish you would bye on payday today which was fried chicken, chinese fried rice and pizza!!

Love Diann~~

Hi Brother, I know by earthly time Im late with your birthday, but I know everyday is your birthday in Heaven.  I love and still miss you. I acknowledge  you on your born day.  Love always Sis <3

Brother, it's been eight year since you went to be with the Lord and today eight years ago was the most beautiful memorial service for your home going. I come here and watch it sometimes. Just wanted to let you know, you are loved and thought about often not just on days like this. Love ya Sis 

My memory  of Marvin was him Dj a party for me and he ran the whole show  it was so funny we enjoy him that nite !!!🥰 He was the security ! the DJ and the partyman !

Loving  Brother, time waits on no man. I can't believe it's been eight years already since. I think of you often.  It's crazy  here on the land of in between. So much has changed as you already know. I know you will continue to watch over all of us.  Tell Mama and Dad I miss them, all the family, and tell Mrs. Wilson Happy Birthday. I will always love you Brother. Love forever and never forgotten, Sister Velma

Another year has gone by to this day and thinking of you.  What a year!! Always wonder how you would handle all this craziness on this side of heaven.  Continue to watch over us and tell mom happy birthday for me. Love you !!! Dian~~

You are my sunshine when skies are blue. When I think about how you would handle situations boldly; I get bold and confident now. I’ve come to realize how much I learned from you. Happy heavenly birthday hunny bun. I love you to the moon and back. 

Diann ~~

Shooting out to the universe,  Happy Birthday  Brother.  Just wanted to let you know we  love you, and not a day goes by that I don't think about you .  Over the years before you transitioned,  we had daddy's funeral on your birthday in 1987. I really couldn't understand celebrating his dash on your born day.  But it is truly a celebration of life either way you look at it.  Love you sis

Happy Father's Day Brother. You are loved and missed. Love ya Sis Velma

Dear Brother, I know I'm a day late and a dollar short.  I thought today was Diann's Birthday.  So I text her and told her Happy Birthday. I knew it was either her Birthday or y'alls Anniversary. And it was your Anniversary. I just chuckled to myself. I always get it mixed up. But I had so good memories of the way y'all gave each other the gifts. And go to Vegas..you fussing.I remember you told me nothing but death could keep you from her and the kids.. So you on that spiritual note now. Missing nothing and loving them grand babies Anyway. Happy Heavenly Anniversary to you and Diann.. In the flesh and spirit..  I know she's in your spirit and you in hers. Hey don't let me forget to tell her Happy Birthday again on the 30th. I' Love Always, your sis, Velma

Hey Brother, I couldn't let this day go by without letting you know that I will never forget you. It's not a dy that goes by that you are not in my thoughts. Today is the day you went on to be with the Lord.  As our lifes go on, we carry you with us in our hearts and thoughts always. Many memories to carry us through. Johnny sends his love too. Tell everyone we love them and when our number rolls  around we'll all be together. Tell Mrs Wilson Happy Birthday and we love and miss her too.  Love you much, Sis Velma

Remembering this day that you left us but the grief and less because I know in my spirit you aw always here living in use and especially you grand kids. We make sure they know you are grandpa. Love you and miss you so much!!

Hello Brohter. I'm late but you knew I was coming.  Merry Christmas in heaven. I know you're sleeping but, I hope you and all the family and loved ones are sleeping  and your souls are dancing stars, bright lights and full of energy that some times touches my soul. Also I want to say Happy New Year as I step again into a New Year I take all the goodnessyou brought to everyone with me. You'll always be in my heart, soul, and mind..... Love always your sis Velma

Happy Belated Birthday brother. I got to see  a video of  a memorial celebration of your life for your birthday.  Diann and the kids really had it together.It was beautiful. I think  of you and love you always.

Happy birthday my love. We celebrated your birthday again this year. It was over 50 people here on Sunday!! Wow what a great time we had.  Memories and tears were shared.  The tradition is set now. Praise God for all the love. He is so good. Celebrate in heaven babe. We love you!

Dear Brother, just thinking about you and wanted to say Happy Father's Day in Heaven.
If I could write a story,it be the  greatest ever told.
I'd write about you brother cause your heart was made of gold.
Much love, Your sis Velma
  tell Daddy ,and all the men family Happy Father's Day

Dear Brother, it's been six long years today since you had to leave us and I wanted to let you know that there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you.  The pain of you leaving is so painful sometimes, that I have to go deep in prayer, but  I keep you in my spirit.   You will always be loved and remembered.  Loving you always, your sis Velma

This is a day that will forever be planted in my heart.  I can't express how much you are missed.  I can hardly believe it's been 6 YEARS already.  A lot has happened in those 6 years. Mostly good and happy thing that you would have celebrated and been filled with joy. You would definitely have spoiled your grandson and now your new granddaughter more than I and celebrated Chey's accomplishment with graduating from college, just to mention a few.  But I know you have been with us all the step of the way. Sing happy birthday to mama for me.  Love you so much more.  

Well Brother we have made it through the holidays and have been blessed to see a new year, but I wanted to let you know we took you with us. Sorry it took me so long to write but sometimes time forbids it.  Although you are always with me, I write now.  Time may pass but not a day goes by you are not in my soul.  It's so many of you missing physically but I know y'all are with us spiritually.   I know time is irrelevant  where you're at,  but as it continues to pass here on earth. We keep you with us, strong.  You are the brightest light in the universe.. Love ya, Sis 

We’ll our baby girl did it!! Chey graduated yesterday with her BS in Physics. I am so proud of how we raised our family.  I wish you were here physically to celebrate with us but I know you were there  in spirit.  Love you...

Happy Birthday love.  I know you’re rejoicing in heaven as we are rejoicing here on earth for our memory of you on this day. The house was packed  again last night in celebrating you.  What an impact you left. It was awesome to see everyone that continue to come by every year to honor you and say some wonderful things that you said or did for them. We all love and miss you still.

Happy Birthday Brother, you are so missed. Love Velma

Dear Brother, I sent a message for the date of your transitioning, Diann's birthday and y'alls anniversary and I don't see it. I hope this one goes through..... I wanted to tell you how much you are loved and missed and Happy Fathers Day...

Hey babe. Thinking of you today. This day will forever be etched in my heart. We celebrated this day by getting our grandson baptized yesterday.  He is such a joy and acts so silly like his grandpa. I told Chey that it seems like everytime a song come on that you’ve sung, especially gospel, he stops in his tracks and listens as if you are singing to him. I know he feels you. We love you so much. And happy birthday mama. I know you guys are up there celebrating.

Thank you Lord for they life you gave us together!

Diann~~

Happy Birthday!!  We love you. You are still celebrated, honored and adored. We will never ever forget you. 

Diann~~

Happy Birthday in Heaven my brother. Oh how you are missed. I can't even describe it.

Happy Belated Father's Day Brother. Sleep in heaven.

Happy Father's Day to my love and father of my children. Thank you for being that man our children needed. Your impact on our lives is great. This is Marcel's first Father's Day. We will celebrate him. It saddens my heart that the girls are still have a hard time. I was praying to God this morning if he would allow you to visit them and encourage them. We love you so much!! 

Diann~~

Happy Heavenly Anniversary in heaven brother, I posted this May 28th and it never showed so I post again. I know it's  been years you and Di were together,before you left us.. 47 years.. High school sweeties y'all were. I loved the way ya'll celebrated your anniversary and her birthday month. And she still does. Amazing uh ? Love and miss ya, but it's memories like this I hold dear to my heart that keep me going....

Two days ago would have been our 34th wedding anniversary. Still celebrating May 28th!!

Diann~~

Dear Brother, It's been four years today that you had to leave us, and at times it seems like yesterday. I light this candle in celebration of your life, I mourn it, and I honor it especially today. The joyous memories out weight the feeling of separation.I love you and miss you sooo much smh

Remembering you everyday...but this day even more as this was the day 4 yeas ago that God called you home. It seems much shorter than that but time continues on and on and the broken heart remains.
Love you so much. Blowing you up a kiss in the sky, I hope you catch it.

To my special valentine to the love of my life. Love you so much. Happy Valentine's babe!!

Diann~~

Happy Belated Birthday Brother...I think of you often and miss you very much. May you continue to shine that bright light down on us. You'll never be gone nor forgotten in my heart....forever

We celebrated you to the fullest on Saturday. There were about 40 people here to honor you for your birthday with food, music, dancing and singing. I know you were here too in spirit. This was Dionna's birthday wish and she made it happen. You are truly loved by everyone as evident in the circle of people formed to say something funny they remember that you did or said. Those that never met you, said they wished they had. It was beautiful!

Diann~~

Happy Birthday my love. We will be celebrating and honoring you today with a family gathering and BBQ. We are expecting the arrival of our grandson any day. What a great gift for your birthday. Love you forever!!!

Diann~~

Happy Heavenly Father's Day Brother. You took daddy's spot when he went to be with the lord...You came to my graduations and such. And mentored my kids and helped me with them and never complained. I would wonder what Diann would cook on these days now your gone.. Now your son is going to be a great father and we're very happy for him...I love you.. I hear the song

Yes, yes...they got me this time.  It was a beautiful birthday event. The best part was when Dionna, Chey and Marcel called me on the dance floor to not only celebrate my birthday, but to also celebrate our anniversary. They played the anniversary song by Toni, Tony, Tone and danced with me, all three of them at the same time!! It was so beautiful and I was in tears and we all felt your presence. It was so strong. Then when Johnnie and I danced, it was like I was dancing with you. He looks so much more like you now. It was a birthday party that I will never, ever forget. Our kids are awesome, but we already knew that! We love you so much!!

Diann~~

Hey pops, we gave mom a Big 60 Surprise Party last night. She had a blast, and honored you guys Anniversary. She will never forget it I love you and miss you. I know you was partying with us. 

Dionna

Having a moment right now. Listening to some gospel and thinking of you. You were so ahead of your time. So many gifts you had. Your visions and ideals are being manifested in others. Though God does not make mistakes, it's still so hard sometimes to accept his plan and will; but the best is yet to come.

Diann~~

Happy Heavenly Anniversary to you in heavens light Brother.I have to tell your wife Happy Anniversary on earth. I think how y'all would surprise each other with all the creative gifts for anniversary time. And how you would surprise her on her birthday too. I think about the trips y'all would take. This has always been a special time of the year. I love you and will never stop thinking about you Brother

Happy Anniversary to us. You are forever in my heart. Love you so much. Still standing, trusting and believing!  Diann~~

Dear Brother, We thought of you with love today 15th
 But that is nothing new. 
 We thought about you yesterday 
 and days before that too. 
 We think of you in silence 
 We often speak your name. 
 All we have now are memories 
 and your picture in a frame. 
 Your memory is our keepsake 
 with which we'll never part. 
 God has you in his keeping 
 We have you in our hearts. 
 A thousand times we cried. 
 If love alone could have saved you 
 you never would have died. 
 In life we loved you dearly 
 in death we love you still. 
 In our hearts you hold a place 
 no one can ever fill. 
 It broke our hearts to lose you you didn't go alone. 
 For a part of us went with you 
 the day God took you home.
 Today marks a three year of your homegoing, thus we will never ever forget.
 Now you are with the Most High watching over us with much intent. We love and miss you much....Your sis
 ~ 
 Velma

Brother it's been three years today since you have left us now. It seems like yesterday.I have to write my truth about my feelings today. I have never knowingly felt anything so deeply hurting and troubling. I can say some days are better than others. You're leaving has affected me in a way I'll never get over. This is so real I have to continue to seek comfort in What I know is right and holy, our Lord. For without him I'd go absolutely crazy..from missing you...Until we meet again.. Happy Heavenly Birthday

Three years ago today my life changed. Only God knew what was going to happen that day. Chey is struggling the most. I don't know how to help her except pray and let her know that everyone's grieving timeframe is different. When she tells me she dreams of you, I let her know that you are trying to comfort her and want her to feel joy and be happy and that you are proud of her. I let her know, it's going to be alright. But, nothing can replace you. We miss you so much.

~~Diann

Thinking of you on this day. How mama would make potato salad and ham with all the trimmings on Easter. Good memories brother, yes good memories. I will always love and think of you. Happy Heavenly Resurrection Day. I know you are light and you brighten up my life..Miss you

Missing you at this moment. I feel your presence right now. Holding on to our love and memories. Even though life goes on; I will never let it go! 

~~Diann

Happy New Year Uncle Marvin. Miss your encouraging talks & all the laughs.

Just stepped into another year Brother and taking your memories with us. We'll never leave you behind. As the Lord allows us to step you will be right there with us.
  <3

Brother I know where you're at everyday is Christmas, but I still want you to know that I thought about you on Christmas day and on everyday, and before you know it, it's another day. Life is busy, times have changed since your flesh was here.Diann tops their Christmas tree  with one of your hats. Missing you.

Happy Birthday to the love of my life. We went to lay flowers on your grave today in memory of you. It was a beautiful day but tears did flow; as they always do. We can't help it; miss you still. 

Diann~~

Though we may have argued and even fought at times, I was never wrong and you were never right. Sometimes we annoyed each other but that was just the fun of having you as my Brother. Just know that you were a great brother, amazing at times I won't deny. At times I may look like I don't care but remember Bro, I was always  around somewhere. You were really a special Brother simply the best and like no other. Happy Bornday born Nov 12,1955

Hey Brother, I'm thinking about you and wanted to tell you Happy Heavenly Father's Day and I love you. It's been three Father's Day since you left us in the physical. But you are with us always spiritually and mentally. I have good thoughts  and memories of you. Always remember,  "Death shall have no dominion. "

HAPPY ANNIVERSERY !!!  This is the only  time we could get uncle Marvin  out the house to hang out. He always have the greatest ideas, but for everyone  else. I remember one year uncle Marvin and I  sat home and watched videos  and ate hotdog ,ice cream and then made sherbert floats y'all don't  know  nothing about  that LOL. I   miss his laughter he has a laugh  OH MY GOODNESS he make thing funnier. I just miss you so much.

From the lyrics of song by Tony Toni Tone "Do you know what today is it's our anniversary"!! I will be reminiscing on our life today. I like another verse in the song that says, "The pleasure's all mine 'cause we have seen good times".  Yes, yes, we did indeed. If I could do it all over again, I would not change anything. Trying to hold it together today babe. Love you and toast to us !! 

Diann~~

Hi Brother just thinking about you and Diann at this time of year. I was thinking about y'alls anniversary and her birthday. Smiling and thinking about the things you two would do and how happy you two were. Well it's that time of year again. Happy 45th Anniversary. And I know your spirit will be felt by Diann on her birthday. We love and miss you

Here it is April 30th again.  My mind goes back to that day in 2013. The pain is a "little" less for me but still there. Dionna and I were talking about what we were wearing on that day. She still can't wear her red pants that she had on. I couldn't remember what I wore, only how I felt. I yearn for you when I'm going through challenges then get angry for only a moment because you're not here to help me. But I know you are intervening for me and asking Jesus to take care of us. And I think of how happy you must be there in heaven. I wait to see you in my dreams so you can tell me all the wonderful stories.  Everyday I see the legacy you left in Marcel, Dionna and Chey. I see your spirit manifesting in them. You would be even prouder of them because they make sure I'm OK. We did good! I was reading Velma's comments and it made me laugh because you really got mad at us because we got lost. I also started laughing when you were so tickled at me and Cita when our rental car got stuck in a pot hole in Oakland. Those are some of the memories that make my heart smile when the pain starts to creep in. Kiss mama and tell her happy birthday for me. I love you even more!

Dear Brother,It's been two years today that you had to leave us, and at times it seems like yesterday. I light this candle in celebration of your life, I mourn it, and I honor it especially today. The joyous memories out weight the feeling of separation. The Lord is so awesome. Those who live in the Him, never see each other for the last time and that gets me through it ! Time is a healer. Yea Buddy ! Good memories ! You, all our kids. BBQ's cookouts. Sleep overs. You and Di and the hilarious ways y'all celebrated each other on Christmas, birthdays and your anniversaries.Just over flowing memories. The family is doing good as you know. Last time I saw the family the dog Sneeks as you call him. Was still riding and still looking for you and at you ! Never leaving Diann's side and is so protective of her. You were a good brother, father, husband, friend and protector. I'm laughing and crying at the same time of all the crazy memories as teenagers at Diann's mom's house our house, traveling to Oakland and listening to you fussing in the back seat at us because we got loss. Johnny was there with us. Me and Di turning up Smokey Norful, you eventually went to sleep. Yea Buddy, a head and heart full of memories Brother. I place at your resting place six roses of love one from each of us.. Diann, Marcel, Dionna, Cheyenne, Johnny and me ! With that being shared, time will continue to move on to the next scene but the memories will continue to live in our hearts. Love your sis Velma

Hi Brother was thinking about you and life mysteries. Still dreaming about that bridge. Diann knows the dream well. It's real dream and I'm not afraid. As I go forward, stepping into a new day of this new year that God sends me. I will take  the love, memories and everything else about you that is needed to heal. You are peace, love and joy... spirit and energy. Days and time are different in heaven. Every day is Happy, and a year could be a nano second.. So I say. Happy Happy Everyday :)

Miss you it still unreal. Hug my Dad for me.

I love & miss You Uncle Marvin, I miss The Way you sung & Filled My Heart With Joy.

Hey Cuzzin Happy New Years you know what's so funny i was talking to Diann last week and she was coming from dropping Budda off and the dog took a ride with her the funny thing was when they got back home the dog wouldn't get out of the car he wanted to ride some more just like you and him do all night long i thought that was so funny cause she kept trying to get him out and he just sat there.....missing you but you will never be forgotten tell all the family i said hello..
Elaine

Happy New Year!! I thank God for another year. We will continue to honor you in 2015!!

Christmas is not the same without you. Even though it's hard, we press forward in our hearts in memory of all the fun times we had in celebrating this season with the family. We miss you so much. We still do our traditional Jackson Five, "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" song to wake everyone up. And this year all the kids we raised were here for that tradition. Your hat is our tree topper and it felt like you were with us. Tell Jesus "Happy Birthday" for us. Love you !

If I could have one life time wish 
 One dream come true 
 I would pray to God with all my heart 
 For yesterday and you 

 A thousand words can't bring you back 
 I know because I've tried 
 And neither will a million tears 
 I know because I've cried 

 You left behind broken hearts 
 And happy memories too 
 But I never wanted memories 
 I only wanted you 

 To your resting place I go 
 Flowers are placed with care 
 But nobody knows the heartache I feel 
 As I turn and leave you there.smh
Happy Heavenly Birthday Brother

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to my dear love, Happy Birthday to you!!! Celebrating all the memories of you today.

Ooh, ooh, ooh...I'm missing you. Everytime I look at your picture, I still can't believe it. Still in love with you!!!
