I am still trying to process Marshall’s passing, two weeks after the fact. The evening of the 11th over the lake was truly beautiful; I agree that it was Earth’s way of acknowledging Marshall’s passing. He left this world the way he should have and is laid to rest overseeing the land and the water he loved. While I did not know Marshall well personally, I was always struck by his gentleness, kindly manner and lack of pretention. He and his Shelburne Farms family enabled our son and daughter-in-law to be married there during the pandemic; my wife and I will be forever grateful to this gesture of grace and compassion, attributes which I know Marshall embodied.
