Marty was a strong, wise, talented, caring and beautiful person. I admired her most for her dedication and committment to Charley and later to Oscar, especially as their lives on this earth were coming to an end.
She was a remarkable woman and is now relieved of this world's pain. Thank God for His love and mercy toward us. We are praying for you, Peg, Marty and Judy, and your families.
