Ruth,

I was secretary at Justin Seed Co. and retired in 1990 and knew Marshall when he used to come to Justin and pick up supplies for Howell Feed. Marshal was a very friendly person and I enjoyed visiting with him. I am so sorry for your loss and you will be in my prayers. Just remember that God promised us. My Grace is sufficient.

Vada Ruth,

I am Layne Wilkerson of Justin, Texas and retired from Justin Seed Co. July 1990 and I first met Marshall back in the early 1970's when he managed Howell Feed. He used to come to Justin and pick up supplies. I became very good friends with Marshall and he was always a joy to be around. About twice a year I would go out on the road and call on dealers and Howell Feed was one of my favorite stops because I would get to visit with Marshall. I am very sorry for your loss and will be lifting you up in pray that God will strengthen you and supply your needs to you and your family during the days to come.I remember meeting you when you used to come with Marshal to pick up supplies at Justin Seed CO. I am sorry that I wont be able to come to the services but will be thinking of you.

Living for the King,
Layne Wilkerson
