    JW and I are so saddened to learn of Marion's passing. We will always fondly remember Marion as a wonderful friend to our parents, in particular to mine, Mid and Jerry Williams. Marion was always friendly, happy, and warm - and he will be sorely missed. I will always have a smile on my face when I think of him - as well as Ellen - a dear, sweet, kind mother, wife, and friend. We offer our thoughts and prayers to you, Ellen, Donna, and Susie, during this difficult time of grief. We will always celebrate his life. God Bless.
