Happy Birthday, I will always miss you. Your closeness is always felt and is a welcomed feeling. I Love You, but you already know that, because when you were four you told me you knew because I told you all the time. Love and miss you. Auntie
Here are words from Mrs. Eckley regarding her son: “Marcus Anthony Merritt, Sr. was born May 25, 1975 and that was one of the happiest days of my life. He was my firstborn and only son. Growing up, he was a character, a real boy who enjoyed pretending he was a cowboy. I told him after he was grown that he truly turned into one because, he owned and loved riding his horses. When Marc was around, people tended to gravitate towards him, he made you feel at ease, laugh and genuinely welcome. He liked to cook out but, we knew if he was in charge of cooking IN, it was going to be hot dogs lol. Once Marc told me, ” Momma, it couldn’t have been easy for you being a woman to raise a man but, you did.” That really made me feel good because, I did my best. He was truly loved by all who had the joy of knowing him and in turn we knew we were also loved. He was a wonderful Daddy who his kids adored. To be hugged by Marc was being hugged tightly and making you feel safe. I sure miss him and his hugs. I love him very, very much
Hi my precious Marcus I dearly miss you. After all this time I can’t talk to you without crying. This pain in my heart never gets easy, it’s hard trying to find a way to deal with it 24/7. Your mother is my salvation, I draw a lot of strength from her journey, fight and determination, I want to make sure I am standing by her side. I feel your closeness and that is a comfortable feeling don’t ever stop. Thank you for continuing to love and watch over us. I love and miss you very much. Auntie
Marcus you are always missed, but this time of the year it is even harder. Just exchanged text with your mother, had her laughing about our special connection. Just to let you know nothing has changed looking forward to our communications. Love you very much Auntie.

Marcus I want to tell you about your mother. She has strength, courage, determination and the power of God under her wings. I am so very proud of her and proud to be her sister. She is and always will fight to find out the truth about why you are not here with us. I feel your presents stay close and one day we will have the answers. I Love you, Auntie
Marc, this has gotten to be more unbelievable as time goes on!!!! My prayer is this nightmare ends soon & whatever is found out is dealt with accordingly. I love you very much & miss you more than the air I breath 🙁 🙁
Marcus, sorry its been a while since I have written. Your mother sent me some beautiful pictures of you they brought tears to my eyes. I miss and love you so much tears flow easy because my heart is broken. The lost of you is so senseless and most of all far to soon. Your mother has got to be the strongest person I know. She is still fighting to find out what really happened to you and she will not settle for the line of bullshit the Leonville Officials have been trying to feed her. Kenneth and I talk about you often he really misses you also. You mother and I rarely go more than a couple of days without talking sometimes we talk several times a day both with heavy hearts. Hearing her voice helps me with my pain. There is a saying, you never miss the water until the well runs dry, I know you have heard this before. I tell you this is so true and it really applies to you. There are days I have such a strong feeling that I need to call you then reality sinks in, that sucks. I love and miss you . Auntie
Hi Marcus, it’s been a year now since we lost you and it still hurts the sadness is always there. You are gone but definitely not forgotten. Your mother and I had a good laugh about mine and yours inside joke about New Years Eve. It’s the memories we share that helps to keep us going. You will always be in my heart, I love and miss you a lot. Love Auntie
Hi Marcus, well today is New Years and we are all getting through the best we can. It seems so unfair that you are not here, that will never be ok. We talk about you and share our memories, we talk about funny stuff, we cry and try to console each other but the sadness is always there. You continue to stay close. I Love You Auntie.
Marcus, since we lost you it has been difficult to focus on anything that is positive but God stepped in and gave us a blessing. That blessing has made a lot of hearts smile old and young. I miss you, Love Auntie.
Marcus today is Christmas and nothing is the same without you in this world. We all make it through in our own way. You are always with me that is comforting although all of the other emotions come into play also, sadness, anger and the questions, what really happened to you, are always there. You stay close I miss you and I love you. Auntie
Marc, my hands & insides are shaking, this is unreal 🙁 how do I wake up on Christmas & not see your face nor hear your voice. How do I make it through Christmas Eve without you teasing me about opening gifts early??? Stay near me these next few days & help me. I love u…Momma
Marcus, its 11 months today since we lost you and it hurts as much today as day one. I just finished talking to your mother, we talk almost daily sometimes several times a day and that will not change I promise. We are still fighting for you and that will not change either. You stay close, I love you and I love your mother, Auntie
Marcus, today is Thanksgiving and you not being here is unreal, unbelievable and sometimes almost unbearable. Your mother is trying hard to find out what happened to you, we keeping praying and asking god to help us find the answer and that will not change. Our hopes are always high that God will reveal the truth to us. I miss you and I love you Auntie.
Marcus, the pain in my heart is as heavy today as it was the day we lost you. I have drawn strength from your mother she helps me cope. She has strength she didn’t know she had and she is sharing it with all of us. I know her pain is unbearable, God has her on his shoulders and she Is sharing that strength with the rest of us. I pray everyday that we get the answer to the question that we are all asking WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU. I pray we get answers soon. I love you and miss you, continue to stay close the feeling is comforting. LOVE AUNTIE
Marcus, your uncle and I talk about you daily, he is very upset just like the rest of us. How in the hell in this day and age could something like this happen? The total lack of attention on law enforcements part is just unreal. All of us believe that our hopes and prayers about what happened to you will be answered. We will never give up. Love You Auntie & Uncle
Surreal is all I can say 🙁 Seeing your name & pictures on the internet smh. Who would have ever known. This is a nightmare, somebody please wake me up. I miss you Marc & love you more than you could have ever imagined… Momma
Hi cousin I was so surprised to hear this about your son and my heart goes out to you and I hate I never met my cousin I love you and miss you and hope to talk to you. I called you several times no response. I love you and they may have taken his body but not his spirit and I know he watches over you. He will always be with you. Whoever had anything to do with this the Lord knows and He will repay them,.
Hey Cheryl, thank you. We’ve all been in shock these past few months. Life without Marc is very strange & a lonely place. I was happy to talk to you & we won’t lose touch. I can’t wait for your visit. I love you
Marc, coming here, looking at your pictures is surreal. No parent should go through this. It’s very difficult & hurts like hell. There’s an empty space in my heart that nothing will ever fill. I think about you all the time & miss you more than anyone can imagine. It never goes away. I hear your voice whispering to me in the wind, ” Momma, Im ok.” Tears flow for you & sometimes I don’t think they’ll stop but, with Gods’ help Im making it. Keep talking to God for us. We love you… Momma
Marcus, we are still waiting for verified information on what happened to you. Its hard not knowing, but we continue to use that as motivation to keeping fighting for you because anything less is not acceptable. We draw strength from all those that love you and those who have never met you but have heard your story. They all encourage us with their prayers and well wishes. I will talk to you more soon, I miss you a lot. I Love You Auntie
I look at these pictures & they tear my heart out 🙁 you’re supposed to be here, smiling & throwing us the deuce. Yes Marc, we do love you & will until our last breath.
Marcus, remember one of the times I came to visit I had a London Fog Trench Coat and I bought you one too. I found out years later you hated that coat, you tried to lose that coat many times and Aunt Sammie kept on finding it. You didn’t like it, because you wanted one like the other kids in school. Sorry, I felt if I had one you should to, kind of selfish on my part. Well I am going to let your ears rest for now and I am going to do my breathing treatment and take a nap. Love you Auntie
Marcus, from the day you were born you made a huge impact on my life. It’s hard to believe I never told you that. I hope my actions through out your life showed you how much you meant to me. Losing you is like losing part of myself. It’s difficult to see through the tears when I wright to you so sometimes when I read what I have written I have to start over, tears makes things fuzzy. I am sure the aangels will love you as much as we do. Love you Auntie
Yes Marcus you are loved, we love you and now we know that you are loved by others also. I Love You Auntie, yea I know you know, you just keep listening.
I love u very much, stay near???????
