My Love and Prayers to all.

Dear Jeanette, Muriel and family
I'm sorry to hear about my Godfather "Uncle" Marty. He was a great and positive influence on my younger years. My dad (Harold) thought so much of Marty, and always was excited when Marty would come for a visit, and passed that excitement on to us.
I’ll keep Uncle Marty and you all in my prayers.
Love
Jude
