Breeding said. “If I had to pick a
guy to go in with that I knew
would be sure to get me back out
of there, he was the guy I would
pick.
“Some guys have to go back
out because their equipment isn’t
right or they forgot their gloves.
Not David. He was always there,”
Breeding added.
At an impressive 6 foot, 5 inch-
es in height, Marlar was capable
of getting just about anybody out

Judy Marlar said her husband
was a gentle giant.
“We are so proud of him,” she
said. “He was the kind of person
that would do anything for you.
On the outside he could seem like
a hard and gruff man, but he was-
n’t that way.”
Marlar came to a young city as
a young man, bringing with him a
young wife and a commitment to
firefighting excellence. He will be
remembered by his friends and
loved ones and a grateful city for
the difference he made in all the
lives he touched. A memorial
fund in his honor has been set up
at the First State Bank of The
Colony.
Marlar is survived by his wife;
daughters Rondie Lenea Wilks
and Shonda Marie Cook; sons
David Scott Marlar and Thomas
Dwight Marlar; parents Thomas
and Hazel Marlar; grandchildren
Zachary Marlar, Joshua Wilks
and Jacob Wilks; brother Arthur

nephews.

family violence.
Witnesses during the sentenc-
ing phase included arresting offi-
cers, who testified to Perkins’ de-
meanor after he was picked up
driving the victim’s car and said
he blurted random statements
during his arrest and booking.
The officers testified that
Perkins told them he had been
drinking “a lot” of beer that night,
which he claimed sometimes
triggered “flashes” in his mind.
They told the court they per-
ceived a definite impairment, say-
ing Perkins displayed mood
swings, alternating between
shouting and being very quiet.
One officer testified to com-
ments Perkins made after hear-
ing a police radio report on the
victim’s condition.
“He said, ‘Don’t die. I love you,
Cheri,’” the officer told the court.
“He was sobbing and moaning,
‘Please don’t leave me.’ ”
Additional testimony came
from a former The Colony resi-
dent who had lived near the site
of the stabbing and witnessed the
attack.
Russell Hassell, 38, said he
heard noises outside his bed-
room window and looked out to
see a man and woman wrestling.
“I heard the female say, ‘I’ll go
with you,’ two or three times,”
Hassell said. “The male kept
picking her up and pushing her
down. He was trying to drag her
towards the street.”
Hassell told the court the pair
then went across the service
road to the median, where the
man continued to push the
woman forcefully to the ground.
“Then when his hand came up
again,” Hassell said, "I saw that
he had a knife. I turned and ran
to go out and stop him.” Hassell
said he yelled at Perkins to stop
and that he “instantly jumped off
and ran out into the street.”
Hassell said when he went up
to the girl, she was making gur-
gling noises.
“All I could see was blood,” he
said, adding that he told her to be
calm and then ran into the street
and waved down a police car.
He later identified the attacker
as Perkins.
Perkins’ sister, Lotonia Hor-
ton, said during a break in the
testimony that her brother had
not been under the influence of
drugs or alcohol on the night of
the murder. She said she believes
her brother is mentally ill.
Perkins showed no emotion
during the hours of testimony,
seldom glancing up from the de-
fense table where he was seated.

Heart attack is a common
medical problem in the 1990’s
and can cause serious disrup-
tion to a person’s professional
and family life. “Clot-busting”
drugs, developed in the mid-
1980‛s, have had a major
impact on limiting the size of
heart attacks and decreasing
the likelihood of congestive
heart failure symptoms after
recovery. In fact, many
patients get impatient with the
Critical Care Unit bedrest lim-
itations and length of their
hospital stay because they feel
so well in the first several days
following their heart attack. It
is still important to remember
that a heart attack has occurred
and that advancing activities
too quickly can result in recur-
rence of chest pain, serious
heart rhythm problems or oth-
er well known complications
of heart attack. Most heart
attack patients in 1990s are
hospitalized for 7-10 days with
the first 48-72 hours spent in
the CCU. Activity level is
slowly increased beginning on

What Happens After
A Heart Attack
the third hospital day and
advanced to the level of nor-
mal daily activity by the time
of discharge. Many doctors
choose to have their patients
perform a limited stress test
prior to going home to give
an individual some con-
fidence and provide a guide-
line for advancement of
activity over the next 4-5
weeks. The heart will form a
strong scar over the injured
area during the first month
after discharge.
Activity and exercise
recommendations will vary
for each individual patient.
The common idea is to start at
a slow, comfortable level and
build steadily over the next
several weeks. Exercise after
most heart attacks is important.
We usually recommend that
our patients walk, bicycle or
exercise in a pool for 30
minutes a day. Heavy physical
exertion, including some
work-related activities, are to
be avoided until you have seen
your doctor back in the office
after hospital discharge.
Many hospitals, including
HCA Lewisville Medical Cen-
ter Hospital, have outpatient
cardiac rehabilitation services
that offer supervised exercise
programs and support from
other heart attack patients.
Many people have found the
programs to be very helpful
with other lifestyle modifica-
tion needs following a heart
attack. The goal of cardiac
rehabilitation is to return the
individual to their jobs and a
heart-healthy lifestyle.

and Grapevine. The Lewisville
Recreation Center hosts “Satur-
day Nite Out!” every Saturday
night, as does the Rosemeade
Recreation Center on Rosemeade
Parkway in Carrollton. The
Grapevine location is utilized on
Friday nights for “Funscape.”
“Parents are constantly thank-
ing us for having this program
where they know their kids will
be safe, and the kids love it be-
cause it’s a place where they can
go and meet their friends and re-
ally have a blast,” Kris Sharp said.
The Sharps intend to expand
the program further into the
Metroplex, although they intend
to serve the same age group.
Cities that have been targeted are
Euless, North Richland Hills and
Desoto, all of which have ex-
pressed interest in hosting the
program, Sharp said.
The once part-time project has
evolved into a full-time job for the
Sharps — all of them.
“My son is one of our DJs,”
Kris Sharp said. “Also, our daugh-
ter is transferring colleges here to
North Texas to get involved. She
wants to be a DJ also.”
