I am sorry to learn of the death of Mr. Marshall. Members of his family are close friends of mine and I offer my deep sympathy. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall were well known for their kindness in the Allisonia community and will long be remembered.

Mr. Marshall always treated me as family when I visited with Janice. I took my daughter by to visit at the store years later, he and Mrs. Marshall were always the the same. Always had a bottle of coke to quinch your thirst. Have such good memories.
