Marti and I met in 1985 and became instant friends. We spent a lot of time together, especially weekends in Waverly or Mountain Top, sharing our love of M&M Peanuts, Rum and each other. When I moved away we remained in contact with each other and our friendship never faltered. I miss you Marti, more than words could ever say. Jerry, Michelle and Jeff, you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Love to you all. Kathy and Harvey
