Dear Rita,Cindy Jeffery and close loved ones,

It is with a heavy heart that I learn of Martys passing. He has been a long time friend to my family. I know he will be missed by all that knew him.
I remember as a young child living next door to your family, One night Marty was called into action when my Mom went into labor during the middle of the nite Marty stayed with us until morning when we woke to find him in our house He explained that My Mothers water had broke and she and My Dad were at the hospital. I didn't really understand how water could break, but I knew that I would be getting a new baby brother real soon.
We then all went next door where Rita was fixing breakfast for us.
God Bless,
Darryl Ship
