MARVIN WAS IN THE HOSPITAL ON HIS DEATH BED.
THE FAMILY CALLED MARVIN'S MINISTER TO BE
WITH HIM IN HIS FINAL MOMENTS. AS THE PREACHER
STOOD BY THE BED, MARVIN'S CONDITION SEEMED
TO DETERIORATE, AND MARVIN MOTIONED FOR
SOMEONE TO QUICKLY PASS HIM A PEN AND PAPER.
THE PREACHER SWIFTLY GATHERED THE ITEMS AND
LOVINGLY HANDED THEM TO MARVIN. BUT BEFORE
HE HAD A CHANCE TO READ THE NOTE, MARVIN DIED.
THE PREACHER, FEELING THAT NOW WASN'T THE RIGHT
TIME TO READ IT, PUT THE NOTE IN HIS JACKET POCKET.
IT WAS AT THE FUNERAL WHILE SPEAKING THAT THE
PREACHER SUDDENLY REMEMBERED THE NOTE. REACHING
DEEP INTO HIS POCKET, THE PREACHER SAID, "AND, YOU
KNOW WHAT? I SUDDENLY REMEMBERED THAT RIGHT
BEFORE MARVIN DIED HE HANDED ME A NOTE, AND
KNOWING MARVIN I'M SURE IT WAS SOMETHING
INSPIRING THAT WE CAN ALL GAIN FROM." WITH THAT
INTRODUCTION , THE PREACHER RIPPED OUT THE NOTE
AND OPENED IT. THE NOTE SAID "HEY, YOUR'E STANDING
ON MY OXYGEN TUBE!"
