My sincere condolences to the family at this time of loss. Even Jesus wept at the loss of a loved one. But God has promised at Rev 21:3, 4 and Acts 24:15 that we have a great future in store if we just rely on him.

To the family, our heartfelt condolences go out to you. We will surely miss the presence of a truly loveable and kind young man. Tommy had an infectious smile, enjoying fellowship every time we saw him. Though we were not blood by birth, he was family and exhibited just that to us. God has assigned him to watch over you throughout your lives. We feel for your lost, our most sincere condolences. Tommy, we will miss you, for you were truly a gentle giant. Love always Lisa Jones (Sumbry)

To The Marshall Family: My deepest condolences to you all. I had the pleasure of reacquainting myself with "Lil" Tommy Marshall in 1997, when he worked for Southern Oxygen. Tommy was delivering oxygen to my mama, Barbara Hunter. I was good to see him after all these years! Boy, did he look good to my eyes. I remember Tommy, Marc, Pete and Eric as little boys...I babysat them. And they were characters! I saw Tommy as a little boy and as grown man, and was blessed to have known each. Take your rest young man, take your rest. My heart hurts for the Family, especially Mrs. LuLa. Pamela Fleming (Hunter)

Tommy for 10 years you have been a major part of my life that only you and I know. My heart is so broken over the loss of you I don't know how I'm going to do this day by day without seeing your smiling face without hearing you talk hearing you laugh this is going to be the hardest rest of my life ever. you were a major part of my life. God loves you best that's why he called you home I'll see you in heaven with that warm smile, and big hug that you always give me. For now rest in peace. I love you La Saundra Robinson

To the Family, Thank you for sharing Tommy with the world. What a man he was, kind, caring and considerate. From playmate to classmate to roommates to soulmate is what he was to me. He never let me down!! He was my friend, my advisor and my confidant. I know he was a friend and a brother to many, he loved to smile, he loved to hug and he loved to be silly (laughing) and that was pure joy to see. He will be missed. I Love You Tommy Marshall Jr, my life will not be the same without you in it. Until we meet again my FRIEND. Love Bernadette McCray
