May God bless you during this time with the loss of your wonderful young man. My prayers are with you especially the next few days till this chapter in your lives comes to a close. May God remind you always of good memories of Marcus, a fellow Bulldog!

I didn't know Marcus personally but I do work with his Daddy, and he is truly a wonderful and God-loving man. From what I have been hearing and reading, Marcus had followed in those same footsteps and had a beautiful life on this earth and bright future. However, God's plan is so much bigger than ours and only he knows what is best for His children. God must like to keep the really good children close to him so now he has taken Marcus Home. Rest in peace Marcus.

To the family and friends of Marc, I send my prayers and condolences. Not many words can truly express the sympathy the community and loved ones have for you and Marc. As a former Bosse student, the news of Marc's passing saddens current and former Bulldogs alike. By reading earlier publishings on this young man, I see that in his 17 years of being a blessing to many lives, he has impacted those blessed to have known him tremendously. Look to none other that Jesus Christ to find the peace that you may seek in the midst of your sorrow. May Marc rest with kings and be blessed with wings.
-Amen-

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there
I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there
I did not die
God took another angel home.

Robinson and Norman Families, We were all blessed by Marc's infectious smile and wonderful disposition. I and my daughter Jessica will truly miss him. Weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Marcus was always at church with a smile on his face and always dressed sharp as a tack! He always knew how to find the good in every situation and make my three sisters, parents and I laugh and smile! I only knew him for a short 2 years but he is one of those people that you can and never would forget! I am saddened that I am in another state now I will never have that closure that I need or that final goodbye but i know he is in a better place now! I love you Marcus and I will continue to pray for your family and the new hope church family. Rest in Peace Marc. La 'Shanna Wood (Oklahoma city, OK)

Our children and grandchildren are truly gifts from God. Oh what a gift Marcus was in such a young person. It was a joy to observe him and his cousins as they set in my vicinity at church. He set a great example for those who was in his company. What an angel God has in heaven!
Prayers will continue for all of you. Linda Watson (Queen Creek, AZ)

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Marc, I still can't believe that you're gone. It feels so like a bad dream and at any moment I'll wake up and hear you say "yes ma'am' or "hi Auntie Roslin”. Marc I love you so much and will miss you deeply. I know God doesn't make mistakes so I'll just have to wait for him to reveal the reason for this to me. You'll always be in my heart and on my mind.
P.S
I'll Take Care of your Mom for You
Love, Your Auntie Roslin

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say... but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I met Marcus at a track meet when he ran the 4X800 with my son, Nathan, last year. He was friendly, polite and outgoing for a teenage boy. I enjoyed talking with him. I am so glad that my son had the opportunity to know Marcus. My thoughts and prayers have been with all his family, but especially his mother. Many times since the accident, the unbidden thought that it could have been my son has entered my mind. For just a moment, I felt the overwhelming loss you must feel. I pray God gives you strength and faith to face the days ahead. With sympathy, Cindy Hayes

Marcus was an amazing person, who went out of his way to make others happy. He made it his duty to make others smile and make a new friend. Marcus may have not lived that long but he touched so many people while he was alive. We lost a great, wonderful friend, but he may be gone we won't forget a wonderful friend. I see this as god just wanted another angel by his side and a special person too. Shannese Harris (Evansville, IN)

It touched my heart as I read the entries in Marc's guestbook from family, friends, and concerned members of the community. Marc REALLY was a blessing to ALL who knew him. Our family was truly saddened by the news of his drowning and later his passing. Although his recovery would have been our will, it was not God's. He truly was a Precious and Rare flower whose face held a smile every time I saw him. I know it is easy to say good things about one who has passed on, but in this case EVERYTHING you have heard and read about this young man is true. He was respectful, caring, considerate, and vibrant. Although I was his older cousin, his life and his passing has made an impact on me, and for that I look up to him. I know where Marc is, he has made it to where we are all striving to go. He is and was and always we be special to us all. Marlon, I am praying for your strength and hope that God grants you peace. He is better off, and I believe he was ready to go. God will comfort you. Lillian, you raised a wonderful young man. I commend you for bringing him up in the church and teaching him about God. Because of that, he knew what it took to make it into those Pearly Gates. Quila, I know how it is to lose a brother, remember I loss two. You never get used to it and you NEVER stop loving them. One thing I know is that those tears turn into smiles when you think about all the good times you shared. I know it seems short, but when Marc came into this world, God knew exactly for how long. Remember, He always has the last say. To Toyia, Armani, and the Twins, you'll miss him, but just dwell on the time that you had him, and not the time that you won't. And to the rest of my family, Robinson/Humphrey, we know that God's grace is Sufficient. I love you Marc. Tiffany Rogers (Jackson, TN)
July 19, 2008
Dear Family, it didn't matter if Marcus was at the door of new hope greeting people or seeing him at Wal-Mart with his cousin, his smile was there. That is what I will remember most about him. My prayers go out to his family. He truly will be missed. Mark Boyd (Evansville, IN)

My precious Grandson... one of God's Angels. Oh how your Nanna will miss your beautiful smile. You were such a joy to me and all our family. My heart aches so bad when I think about those bear hugs you would give me all the time; how you would be the first to sit at the table to eat, but the last to get up; how you would try and teach me those weird dances you guys do then laugh at me; I'll miss just hearing you say "yes ma'am; no ma'am & thank you. Your Nanna certainly loved herself some Marcus B Robinson! You will forever be in my heart grandson. When I talked to you daily as you lay in that bed at ST Mary's and when I whispered in your ear that dreaded day you left us, I know you heard me because I could feel it in my heart, in my soul. I'll see you again one of these days grandson and remember to tell Jesus what I said... my precious one. Bettye (Nanna) Poole (Evansville, IN)

August 7, 2008
My precious, precious baby boy... There are no words to express the ache in my heart. I think of you all day, every day. Your smile, your hugs, your eyes, your voice. I have even asked God to help me to always remember the sound of your voice and for it to never become dull in my memories. I never thought I'd see the day when I could handle something this tragic either mentally or emotionally. But somehow... God's grace is sufficient. You see Marc, God has given me the greatest gift that any parent could ever hope for. My son's life was truly one that touched many lives. I am so proud of you. I am also glad that God allowed me to tell you this a couple of months ago. I am also thankful to God that He allowed me, you, and Quila to have such a blessed relationship. The bond that we share is like no other family I've seen. We never had to wonder if the love was there, we knew it. Baby Boy, you will always be in my heart and in my thoughts. I miss you dearly. I love you with an everlasting love. "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Philip 1:3. Lillian Norman (Chicago, IL)

Marc, Today I just couldn't stop thinking about you it was like a bell went off and I finally realized that I won't see you for Christmas. I was in the store looking for your Christmas gift had to leave the store because you are in heaven now. Marc I miss you so much and when I saw Quilla and Terrell and brook for Thanksgiving it's like a piece of the puzzle is gone I know you're in a better place and I know with time it will hurt a little less but I just want you to know that just because you are not here you will always be in our hearts. Now you are in heaven with Uncle Princeton and cousin Dalton tell them I said hello and I LOVE YOU. Auntie Roz

This year, 2008, will never be forgotten. Grandson, your Nana misses you something terrible. Even though I know you are with the Lord, I still drive out to your resting place quite often just to talk and share the events of the day as if you are there. I seem to find peace when I'm burdened, and joy when I think of you with sadness. You would be driving now with your own vehicle because your Nana had made preparations for your “ride”... the big Christmas gift! Last Sunday at Church, I envisioned you and your beautiful smile on the front row where you sat and I blew you a kiss.
I know you received it... I felt it Marc.
We miss you so much Marcus Brandon Robinson. I was so blessed to have a grandson so special and I thank God for you. Give Jesus my love and tell him when day is done and shadows flee away, I'll see you guys one day...Your Nana (Bettye Poole, Evansville, IN)
January 1, 2009
Marcus, We miss you so so much. This is the hardest thing we have ever had to go through in our lives. I still get angry sometimes when I know your not coming home after school from track practice or running down the stairs because your about to miss the bus in the morning. Sometimes I still don't understand why some things happen. Everyone is holding up good through the holidays. Your dad is being very strong. He has a room at the house now that he calls the 'mans room' and the whole room is in remembrance of you. We went to church for New Years and they sang Never would have made it and I almost lost it. You will never be forgotten and will always be loved.
We miss you so much Marcus Brandon Robinson!!!!!!!! Love You!!!
