  6. One of the last times I saw Mr Marvel he told me he was afraid when he visited the nursing home they would keep him as a resident ❤️ I had many encounters with Mr Marvel with my years of nursing home health as when our patients couldn’t stay at home they became residents at the nursing home and Mr Marvel helped so many in his career there ❤️ Ms Jaunita and Mr Marvel were in health care many years and have such fond memories of them and praying for family ❤️🙏🏼Delma and Roger Mitchell
