Penny you and your family have my deepest condolences during this difficult time. 🙏🏾 SHS 71 💚💛
Marvin was the drum major at old Spencer High that was on ?8th Street in Columbus when I was 5 or 6 and the majorette mascot. Carrie Boddie was the head majorette. I am Virginia, the daughter of his Uncle John and wife Luticia (Hood St) and first cousin also to our mutual cousin Lula Smith Hensley, who keeps me informed. Blessings to his immediate family 🙏🏽
