When Mama D took me in many years ago, it felt great to be part of my favorite family. Marcus became the little brother I always wanted. As a young tween, he was not trying to hear rules or do chores, etc. so in my moments alone with him, I got the chance to talk to him and I could just see him soaking it all in. He would look up at me with those big brown eyes and that big pretty smile and say "Yes ma'am, I mean ok." I felt protective of his spirit during that period and sometimes would even do his chores and mine so he wouldn't get in trouble. I went to a few bb games when he was even younger and was amazed at how great he was. Everytime I pass by the fields, I think of him. I'm sad to say bye, but it's only for now. I will continue to cover your Mama, sisters, brothers, wife, and children with love and prayers. Rest in Heaven, Lil Free! :blue_heart:𝓐𝓴𝓮𝓪

The freeman’s were a big part of my childhood. I always enjoyed going to their house eating gumbo and playing with the batting cage. Marcus was always a joy and loved sports! It’s amazing to see how he grew into such a family man and I’m so sad to see him leave this early. I pray for God’s comfort and peace to be with you all!!!
