Dear Ginny,
My deepest sympathy to you and all your family. I have fond childhood memories of "Missy Curty" visiting frequently with mom. Her unexpected visits at our door for "a minute" generally lasted an hour or so. They always laughed together. She will be greatly missed on this earth. With love and prayers.

Dear Ginny,
I am deeply saddened to hear of your mother's passing. There has always been a special place in my heart and my memory for her. Your family's annual parties were a highlight for us at the end of each of our childhood years. Even as a child I felt welcomed, as though she was glad I was there when we played together at your house. She was positive and encouraging and I know the world was richer because she was in it.

Ginny,
Doug & I are deeply saddened by the loss of your mom. She was one of the first "Flagg Family Friends" that I met when I joined the family. I will always remember her quirky sense of humor, her wonderful laugh & her very simple sense of style. Fifteen (or so) years ago we were delighted to find her visiting our bakery in a small coastal Maine town. She made a point of stopping in whenever she was in the area. Marty will be remembered & missed by many.

Marty was so committed to the natural resources in Milton. I met her when she was Chair of the Milton Conservation Commission and she had such a great enery for the environment. Her weekly column, Conservationally Speaking, was a must-read in the local newspaper and served such a great purpose of communicating to the general public on nature and preservation. I will miss her.
