Comments Nancy, Polly, Lee and Alison, " I am so sorry to hear about Marvin! I know that I haven't seen your family in quiet some time, but I have a lot of wonderful memories from spending a lot of time with all of you when I was growing up. Even though Marvin was usually the quiet one, he always had a way of making everyone smile. I want you to know that I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers in the days to come.

Our Deepest Sympathy is extended to the Marvin Dorrel Family. May the Good Lord give you "peace and strength" in your time of need. Al and I had just seen Marvin at " cousin Ruth (Dorrel) Bohlke's funeral earlier this year at Adam's Church in Batesville. God only knows our "hour" of meeeting Him face to face. I have fond memories of my parents Des and Fritz (Dorrel) Kellerman, along with Marvin's parents, Lee and Marie and all the reunions we attended as younsters, years and years ago. The older generation was intrigued with cards games, reminiscing and fine home made foods!! In Sympathy and Friendship ... Al and Mary Ann (Kellerman) Meyer
