Aunt Marty, you were a wonderful Aunt & always had the best advice and were full of love and wisdom. I will always remember how you brought the family together. You were the glue that kept us all together. And my husband says for 38 years he loved aunt sissy like she was his own aunt. She always hit the punchline, kept it simple and to the point to get things done. She always had the best outlook on life that we followed whole heartedly and she was an inspiration with her philosophy on life. She will never be forgotten.
