The Judge was always a friendly and gracious host to us, a great father-in-law to my sister Mary and friend to my mother, Cass, and we will miss him as I'm certain his immediate family misses him.

A fair and Honorable man is how I always saw Judge Martin. I will never forget his kindness to me in a difficult time in my life. We now have another angel. He is now with Tots, talking over old times. He always had some stories to tell. Keep the gate open, we will see one another one day. My prayers are with his family.

Dear Aunt Amanda, Eddie, Johnette, Jay, Robert, David and Greg,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Uncle Mitz will be greatly missed! When I think of him, I remember LSU football games, getting up early for church the next day, and the race home afterwards with the kids egging them on! I know heaven is a brighter place with him there.

Love,
Cindy K. Lysinger
