Oh my! I'm so late!

Marvin, my dear friend, there is no excuse for my not having been here on your day.

I'll be brief, because those of us who know you need not be reminded of who you are, of what you stand for, and of your passionate fight for the most defenseless among us.

You are an honorable, compassionate man, with a heart as big as the infinite vastness of the heavens, and I consider myself lucky...no, not lucky...blessed, to call you friend.

I would say "God bless you Marvin", but I'm certain that He has, and will continue to do so.

I will say that He blessed me with your frienship.

Be well my friend.

Luis, my friend, you touch my sagging spirit with your magnificent writing talent ... but didn't you go just a bit overboard here, guy? LOL Thank you, Luis. The Lord bless and keep you brother.
