Dear Karma,
I am so very sad for you. Marty was your soulmate and you were so happy together. Very unfair that he was taken from you and Chenoa so soon.

Dear Karma,
Marty always impressed us that he came every time Mom and Ken needed help of any kind. We were grateful for that, as were they. Marty obviously made a positive contribution to many family members and friends. He knew he could always count on your love and support. May that thought help to bring God's peace to you now and in the days to come. Our love and prayers surround both you and Chenoa.
Blessings on you,
