MARVIN ALI BROADNAX
I’m so sorry for your loss praying for you all. Marvin will be truly missed.
To my dearest Nieces and Nephews: I am so sorry you have to feel the hurt from the lost of your brother. If I could shield you from this, I would. Stay strong and remember all the good times you had with Marvin. The one thing I remember most about Marvin is that when he hugged you, he did it with his heart and arms. You could feel the love. RIH, Marvin.
