Zeola has built a shrine to her brother and photographs adorn the walls of the living area of her Las Vegas home. ‘When our mother died from cancer, it was a struggle to pay the medical bills.

Marvin would have been horrified by this situation because he cared for and loved his family,’ Zeola said. I would just make sure my family was taken care off; my kids, my sister and her kids.

‘I don’t want to be rich. I just want to be comfortable where I can be in a position to say “Come on guys, get your passports, we are going to London.” ‘I just want to be able to do things like that and not worry about the next pay check if any of us get sick.’
