Despite others trying to make me look like a fraud among other things, this courthouse is the most important part of the county, and they are the highest skilled and top of the line body of government for the county I have always lived in ,since the day of my birth in Michigan, and have promised me time and time again, that despite the fact I was born physically disabled, that I am now allowed to make my own decisions for myself, being that I will turn 30 on July 8th, of this year. God bless you all at the Marquette County Courthouse. 👼 😂. Thank you for always being there.And Thank God for you saying I could keep my accounts and not be killed like the people harrassing all of my 👪 have said you would.Even if I really was dead, all my possesions go equally to the 👪 members I have, and 💰 to Operation Blessing and the 700th Club, not any of the MARESA students, former or current.Thank you for awarding my phone and life back, even though God already did, when he gave me all of you, for the ups and downs.

The county clerk staff were very professional in helping me get connected to a reputable funeral home and very knowledgeable on what documents I would need to file with the county on any records of his I would need.
