Michelle, I want to express my sincere and deepest condolences to your family. My family and I were deeply saddened by the news of the loss of your beautiful son. Marquez was always so respectful and pleasant. I cannot ever remember an occasion that he did not take the time to speak to me as he entered your shop. Seeing such a remarkably well-mannered young man is so rare and the memories will remain with me. You raised a fine young man and I will truly miss seeing his handsome smile. Although his time seems to have been far too short, forever cherish your happy memories, and be blessed. Our love and prayers remain with you during this time of bereavement.

Michelle, God saw Man was getting weary so did what he knew was best and called Man and said come home and take your rest. May God comfort you in this time of sorrow and bring you the sunshine of tomorrow. Weeping may endureth for a night but joy comes in the morning. May God richly bless Michelle, Leon, Brashick,Justin,Rose, Darryl, Boo, Tresa and Kim and know that he is able too.

With Deepest Sympathy,
