Dear Heidi & Family, My sincere condolences for the passing of your Dad --- & empathy as I had just lost my Dad in September. Your Dad's obituary was a lovely summary of a life well spent & of the Legacy he helped build in his family. Your Dad will no doubt be deeply missed but I hope you too will find that the memories grow sweeter as well. I wish I could make it into Lorain for you but please know that my thoughts are with you & your family. Peace, Toni (Mihalic) Watson

We always knew we could count on Uncle Marshall to put a smile on our faces. As children, and even into adulthood, he had a way of making us laugh. Thanks to Uncle Marshall and his stories about his childhood with 7 siblings we have cherished memories for all of our family. We expected him to call my mom at midnight every New Year's Eve, and he never failed us. Beyond his ability to make us smile, most importantly, Uncle Marshall was a kind-hearted man. I realized that as I got older, and that is what he passed on to his children, Bambi, Jeff, Heidi, Ricky and Robby. I cannot be there with you in person this week, but you are all in my heart and my prayers.
