Daddy,
Tomorrow is your birthday and it always hits me so hard.
So much is going on in my life that I want to share with you and I miss you so much.
I still think I see you sometimes in a passing car or in line at a store. You're always in the back of my mind smiling and joking.
I just miss you so much. I keep telling myself I was lucky to have you as long as I did and the reason it hurts so much is because we loved each other so much.
Forever your little girl,

My Marty, You left us so suddenly we didn't even get a chance to say good-bye. So I'll say to you that you are still with us. I see your smiles and hear your laughter that lights up the world for me, and Ill always hear the "hi Ma what's up?"
I think of all the little boy things, the husband that you were the good father and the pappa and son. You have made me proud to be called your Mother and you will NEVER leave me.
I love you always

This was read by my sister-in-law Pamela at her brother Marty's funeral. The accolades mentioned in this guest book are such a tribute to his loving wife Rae and their wonderful life together and Marty's mom, Maxine for bringing such a wonderful person into this world who is loved by so many:
WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME:
When tomorrow starts without me; and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes; All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry; The way you did today; While thinking of the many things; We didn't get to say; I know how much you love me; As much as I love you; And each time that you think of me; I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me; Please try to understand; That an angel came and called my name; And took me by the hand; And said my place was ready in heaven far above; And that I'd have to leave behind; All those I dearly love; But when I walked through heaven's gates I felt so much at home; When God looked down and smiled at me; From His great golden throne; He said "This is eternity And all I've promised you; Today for life on earth is past; But here it starts anew; I promise no tomorrow; For today will always last; And since each day's the same way; there's no longing for the past; So when tomorrow starts without me; Don't think we're far apart; For every time you think of me; I'm right here in your heart. MARTY'S SPIRIT TRULY LIVES ON IN EVERY HEART!!

Raelyn, I never met Marty but I know he must have been a wonderful person because you are. Remember how we met? We were corresponding by e-mail about Waite/Wayte genealogy and finally I asked where you lived, then when I found out you were only about 5 miles away, I said would you like to come over for a cup of tea? I am so grateful for our visits. Shortly after that you transferred to U.K. Thanks for keeping in touch with me. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. I am sure you can build a new life in the area where you have lots of family and friends who will no doubt be a great deal of support for you.

Dearest little brother, There are so many things I want to say. I thank you for being there for me always through the years, I always felt so cared for by you. Even though you were my little brother you became my father figure when Dad passed. I could always count on you and trust you completely. So many memories of you I'll keep so close to my heart. You who always had a joke and made me laugh oh how I will miss that in my life. Your complete laughter and your smile will always ring in my ears. How you loved to tease. We will all watch over your family just like you are doing now.
I know you are smiling down on us all now, loving you in absense until we can all be together again.
Did you grease the knobs to the pearly gates yet?
Your sister

There is not one thing that does not remind me of you and how much we loved each other. After a life time of the love we shared all else seem so pointless. I will complete the dreams we shared together to the best of my ability. Our children and grandchildren will remember and know you as if you were still with us.
Sweet Dreams,

Dear Marty, I cannot express how much I will miss you, for you were the best brother and my best friend. You were everything that a sister could ever ask for in a brother. I'll always treasure in my heart, the memories of our special times we spent together, of all the adventures and places that we shared and visited together. You always made me feel so special, for you will forever be with me. I am so proud to be your little sister and am extremely proud of you, my Big Brother. I can feel your presence all around me and know that you are still there, looking out and watching over me as you always did. Marty I Love You.
Love Forever, Your Little Sister "Pam" Pamela

Dear Rae, It will be some time before I accept the fact that we won't all be doing a Panama Canal cruise together after retiring. Marty and I had some good plans laid out - I will still do some of the things we talked about because I know he'll be there in my heart, and that won't ever change. I just really miss that rascal.

Uncle Marty, I am going to miss you so much. Even though you are not here in person I know that you are still here in spirit. I felt you on friday when I watched the bright orange sunset as I walked out of the Skyline. I felt you on saturday when the acorns were raining down on us at the funeral service. And I felt you saturday night when I couldn't sleep because the light from the full moon was so bright. Just wanted to tell you Gramma,Auntie Rae,Tina,Greg,Eric and everybody else that he is all around us. Just look,listen and feel. I'm here if you need me. Love always,Michelene

Raelyn - This doesn't seem real at all. We look through a glass darkly at times. I believe there's more...that the soul is imortal and that we will see your man again. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Marty in the UK at the Taunton Integration Facility. He wasn't just a good Boss, he was a true friend and was very good to all of us at the Facility. His sudden passing shocked and stunned all of us & we are still coming to terms with it. We will miss him terribly. My wife and I are so sorry for Raelyns loss and if she needs our help at anytime,she just has to ask. God bless you Marty. Rae, you are constantly in our thoughts.
