Marty

Marty, although it has been awhile I want you to know we miss you and think of you often.
love, Bob & Judy

Marty, its been a year and a half since you left, and I still find myself thinking about you and your family, and how wonderful you were to my family. You were one of the most giving individuals I have ever met, I can't thank you enough for being my friend, Linda's friend, and the friend of my 3 kids.
Cheryl it was so good to see you and Jake, and I truly hope that things get better. Think of you and the boys, and say a prayer for all of you often.
Thank you, Marty !

Marty, still missing you.

People keep saying, time heals. I think that is repeated only by those who have not lost someone close. I don't feel healed and it's been two years. Define time. Life moves on. Things change in unbelievable ways. Your sons are maturing into confident, loving, hard working, honorable adults. I hear everyday how proud you would be of them, as I am. So wish you were here to share the joy I have of witnessing it. Life moved on. Things changed. But time has not healed. Missing you still...

I just heard about Marty's passing. My condolences to all of Marty's family. I was a roomate of Marty's back in the 80's. we lived in Aloha with Gary Speich. Marty was one of my 1st roomates after moving to Oregon from New Jersey. I have many fond memories of Marty taking me to a lot of great NW places for the the 1st time. He was a hard working fun guy to hang out with. I'm so sorry to hear about his premature passing.
Sincerely,
Tom Midrano

Well Marty – it's absolutely heart wrenching for us to think that you have been gone for one full year already. We hope your memory ~ your voice, your laugh, your presence, your face will forever be as clear in our minds as they are today. But time does strange things to our minds, as our thoughts are filled with so many, many things, day after day. We breathe in, we breathe out… we move on.

But we will always remember that you were the epitome of what a true, true friend really...

It's hard to believe a year has gone by. It has been incredibly tough. I never realized how much of the "glue" that held us all together you truly were. I want so much feel your arms around me and hear your voice. I want the boys to hear your words of wisdom and thoughts on so many things I don't know the answer to, and I know it can't be. As hard as it is, we will just keep trying to do our best every day, keeping you in our hearts and as the voice in our head....
