Help Marden's Family After His Passing

Hope this finds you well!

I recently received some news of someone who had a beautiful family that passed away. Leaving 3 kids fatherless and a wife widowed. I am brought to tears at this as I played with these kids and Marden shared his deepest gifts with me. His blessings impacted me deeply, and I’ll share my story. After meeting has family I started playing with their kids and spent a whole afternoon with the kids showing them back flips, front flips, and all sort of monkey stuff that they loved. The whole family is in joy and we’re happy by my monkey behavior. The father late at night set a fire in front of the Alter of Christ. We sat next to the fire and he gave me some words of wisdom and then he gave me an elaborate handmade necklace. It was like an elder of the village giving me a medal. It was a very special moment for me. To hear of his passing is really sad, and I remember this passage from the Bible James 1:27, which says:

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” (NIV)
