Ron,

My condolences to you and your family on the loss of your wife and mother. I don't believe I met your wife, but I enjoyed talking with you about your wife and family at the Farmers Market. My prayers to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Mr Martens, Camille, Alan and Nathan:

I am so sorry to hear about Mrs Martens passing away. I have so many wonderful memories of her and your family. From riding in your pick up truck to camping with the girls scouts. One of my favorite memories is of my Dad and your Mom sitting on the front porch on Virginia just talking. Those certainly were good times.

You all will be in my prayers and your Mom will be missed greatly.

All my Love,

Julie Vestrand Ducey
