We were so sorry to hear about Mr. Marvin. My husband thought a lot of him, as my husband used to be the Commander of the VFW Post in Mt. Vernon, until we moved out of state to be close to his family. You and your family are in our Prayers. May God Bless each of you.

To all my Fountain Cousins, I have so many wonderful memories of Marvin and all the family. I remember so well the first night I ever spent with Marvin. I have no idea when I finally went to sleep because of those cars driving by his home. I had never heard noises like that at night. We lived in the country (and I do mean real country). Plowed mules until I was old enough to join the Navy. The Fountain family was truly a blessing to the Clarks. I will forever be thankful to have been a member of this family. R.I.P. Marvin.
