  20. I have lived across the street from Marcus since he was just a little one. Marcus always spoke and was always respectful. Just a couple weeks ago, while I was sitting on my back porch, I heard what sounded like someone trying to start their car. I went out front and it was Marcus trying to get his car started and I offered to help or a “jump” but Marcus said “no, it’s the alternator”, and then said, “I’ll get dad to help me”. Later, then I saw Jeff out front with Marcus as they were both under the hood working on his car and while I was mowing the lawn, said a quick prayer…..”Lord, please help him to get his car started”, and it was but a couple minutes I heard the car revving up. I will miss Marcus greatly and seeing go and come back from work, etc…. My prayers are with the family as is my love. My door is always open.
