I am so sorry to hear about Marty, he was a genuinely sweet and kind man. I know this is a great loss for you and the kids but you have such a great family I know that you will be able to take some comfort in that. There is only one Marty though and I hope that your tears are mixed with laughter of the joyful memories that he left you.

Dear Katherine and Family,
I'm sorry to hear about your terrible loss. I've been thinking about you all weekend. You may not know, but you were very supportive to me when my Dad was sick a few years ago. Cancer is a terrible disease. I hope to be as good a friend to you as you have been to me when I see you at Broadmeadow and NCC. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
