Darlene
You have my deepest sympathy. I just heard about Marty's passing today 9/27/14. I think of the good times that I had with Marty as a neighbor and friend as a classmate both in grade school and high school and then there was also the army. I had not seen him since the army and only recently heard about his battle with cancer. Darlene I understand what you are going through as I went through that with my wife when she was only 38 years old. One thing that you can take comfort in is the fact that he has no more pain and is safe in the arms of Jesus. Psa.116:15 says Precious in the sight of Lord is the death of his saints. Even though you will miss him after all these years you can have comfort in the fact that you will get to see him again in heaven. I had not seen Marty since the army and had hoped to see him at some our get togethers. Once I had heard that he had cancer I had hoped that I might get the chance to seem again, so now I will be see him in heaven. Again you my deepest sympathy and I will be praying for you and your family.
