Men Worthy of Honor
Edgar Lee Marshall, Sr./Robert E. Marshall
A Father 's Day Tribute to Two Good Men

Our father, Mr. Edgar Lee Marshall came to Texas on September 14, 1999 to live with me because his doctors in Alabama and Maryland had informed him that he had only two weeks to live, due to congestive heart failure. He decided that he wanted to spend that time with my children and I because he hadn 't gotten to know my children. I told my children that we were going to teach Granddaddy about the love of Jesus in our house. We agreed that daily we would tell him that we love him and give him big hugs.

Marshall. I had no idea my brother was such an amazing, wise, and impressive man, until I started to spending a lot of time with on the phone talking with him and every chance I get to have face-to-face time with him. He calls me everyday and sometimes we talk several times a day. He imparts his life 's wisdom with me and I with him, although great minds think alike because we have the same teachings from our parents. However, over the years we have both collected other areas of wisdom that we can bless each other with. If I could have a clone of my father back today on Father 's Day, it would be my brother Robert who looks exactly like our Daddy. He is a good, good man who loves his family. I love you, my brother and thank you for everything you have taught me and done in my life to make me a better me. I pray that God will greatly reward you for your giving to others. Your Blessings are coming. Happy Father 's Day My Loving and Kind Brother, Mr. Robert Earl Marshall! Don 't forget to call me tonight
