Not sure what to say?

Just remembering my nephew Marty a year since he's gone home. I couldn't get online on the 4th, but know he was in my thoughts and his family are in my prayers.
Many blessings Jen & all the boys.
Love, Aunt Diane

Dear Jen and Alec,
Marty was a wonderful guy. He will be missed by everyone who had the great opportunity to meet him. I'm sorry he was taken away from you so soon! We will always remember his great sense of humor, his laugh and his warmth. May your pain lift and your strength grow with each day.
love, Laurie, Bryan, Winston and Wil Welch

Jennifer,
I'm very sorry about your terrible loss. I enjoyed our time on the football field joking with Marty and snacking on seeds. He had a great wit about him and would always make me laugh. Elijah also wants to convey his deepest sympathy to Alec and remind him we are all thinking of him during this time. May God comfort you during this time of great sorrow.
Love, The Ramirez family, Josh, Rebecca, Elijah, and Elizabeth

Marty, being my older cousin, was my hero. He was the best in my book. I remember him telling me how he loved surfing, and just at sunset, on rare occasions, if you were very lucky, you would see a green glow in the sky over the ocean. Marty saw it twice and hoped to see it again. I'll bet he has seen it, on his way home. We will all miss his great humor and joy of life, and his jokes. I wish you all the best.
Cousin Dan

Dear Jen & Alec; You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless and comfort you as you go forward in this life, and may you have the courage and determination that Marty would want you to have.
Love, Aunt Diane and family

Dear Jen and Alec,
Our thoughts are with you now and we pray for your comfort and well being now and always. When I think of Marty I always smile. He made me always feel comfortable and was always having fun. What a treasure that is. I feel lucky to have known him however brief it was. May your quardian angel(s) keep you happy, safe and sound!
With Love,
Sherrie and Diego

Dear Jen: Sherrie has shared with me her feelings of compassion for you and your family during the past months. I am so sorry for the loss you all have suffered. You, Alex, and Marty are in my heart. I wish you comfort. Sandy McGee
