Pending approval of the fund by the IRS and the state of Louisiana, interested donors can make contributions via Faith in Action donation site, which will transfer monies to the memorial fund.

Marshall Truehill was a rarity in New Orleans politics — a man who led with his heart and who matched his passion with intelligence, fairness and grace. The few times I got to spend real time with him were a blessing. He will be missed.
