How can I begin to describe what Marcus meant to me? Separated by 20 months, he was my big brother who became my first best friend, playmate, protector, and supporter. Because of small military accommodations, we shared a room most of our younger years. We often whispered back and fourth long after we were told to go to sleep. In the very young years, I'm told he would drag me by the arm here and there, whenever he deemed our next adventure to be. My earliest memory was that we were taking a bath together and I did the unspeakable: I pooped in the bath. He leaped out of that bath, my memory is ingrained with how fast he bolted. A few years later, he (by chance) got me back. We were whispering back and forth at bedtime and I said "my butt itches" to which he replied "go put toothpaste on it." I'm sure he had desitin in mind, but to his young mind, it was the same as toothpaste. That experience was "burned" into my memory, so to speak. As we grew, we began to have separate friendships but always kept close tabs on each other. In high school, we rode back and forth together in his Camaro listening to his favorites (MC Hammer and the like) and mine (Belinda Carlisle, Madonna). He was an athlete, I was a bookworm. He told me that I could forget having football player boyfriends because he made it known in no uncertain terms that there would be severe consequences to any who tried. As adults, we raised our families side by side. Our firstborns were born just two weeks apart, both of us blessed by a baby girl. We then had kids that matched up in age and gender..almost identical families except I squeezed in one more daughter. Over the years, we often got together with 9 little ones under foot. There was usually little sleep, but we always had a lot of laughs and good food and drink. We were merry. It's hard to believe how much the kids have grown, our oldest are now 16. When Marcus was diagnosed with terminal (random mutation) lung cancer, I felt like it was also happening to me. I couldn't bear to see him suffer physically or mentally. He never complained but I was his sis, and I knew what he was feeling because we share so many personality traits and had a special understanding of each other. I did all I could to be a light in his life as he traversed this agonizing path. I tried to walk it with him, side by side, as always. We had many sweet moments going to and from appointments or just sitting together. When we reached the end of the path that we could walk together, the path branched and he had to go one way and I had to go the other. My heart will ache for my sweet big brother the rest of my days. The happy memories will always be with me and I know he is with his Lord. He told me God had prepared him, the biggest consolation I can have. I know when it is my time, my big brother will reach out with his big strong hand to greet me. Marcus was loving, generous, kind, empathetic, selfless, smart, witty, an excellent cook, and wise beyond his years. He knew from his experiences at his job as a respiratory therapist to love your family and friends like there's no tomorrow and, by the grace of God, he lived by those words. Until we meet again, Marcus, I love you with all my heart. Your little sis.

Marcus will be missed more than he could ever imagined. Though we live miles apart and didn't have the pleasure of seeing as him often as we would have loved to. The love was, is and will always be there. I know life will never be the same for Heather and their children, Karin and Arnold, Ingrid and her family and the rest of the family and friends. But, just look to the evening sky and know that the brightest twinkling star is Marcus watching over everyone and sending his everlasting love. RIP Marcus.
