Marshall was a religious man “ and loved to listen to audiotapes ™ of the Bible. He belonged to the * Promise Land Baptist Church « and was an active member for « many years. Even after he was “ no longer able to leave the house * without great effort, he remained * a source of inspiration to his rela- Z tives and friends. He loved chil- Z dren and could sing “Jesus Loves £ Me” right along with them. ‘
A few days before he died, 91- * year old Marshall Jordan sat in * Fauquier Hospital with oxygen * tubes up his nostrils and other * paraphernalia attached to his * body. He was uncomfortable but * his eyes shone with brightness * and his face beamed with happi- J ness. With a clear and rational * mind he spoke of his religious “ faith and his willingness to pass * on to the world to come.
“It makes me excited to think £ about it!” he enthused and" clasped his big hands together * with a1 shake as though one of • them belonged to someone else, m
Perhaps it did. * THOMAS EDWARD JOR-Z
