Martin Townsend

Dear Karan, Ramon and I want to say how sorry we are to hear about Marty! We miss you two so much. Marty and you have always treated us like family. May God take you in His loving arms and give you comfort.
Lois and Ramon Whittaker

Gods will has changed our lives forever I wish I knew the plan for the future. Thinking about how many things that have just stopped like hearing your voice or being able to ask your advice, this is my lonely place that can never be changed. After the Service is over and the loved ones continue with their lives the emptiness that is felt is unexplainable. However, we are a close-knit family this loss has brought us closer than ever but without you to show the way things will never be the...

As the weeks go by the sorrow is still so deep. I see the pain in Nana's eyes and also in dear Dena. I wish I could take away all the pain and sorrow but only time and God will heal their broken hearts. I am here if you need me, a shoulder to cry on or an ear to laugh, talk and reminise about our dear Marty. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Karan call me when you need my chicken long rice.

Marty, Your passing has left a hole in many a heart, but not as large as my best friend Karan. My promise to you is that I will do all that is in my power to help her through her pain and sorrow. I want to thank you for taking me into your home some 20 years ago and letting me become part of your family. I will always remember our trips, but most of all our times sitting on the deck, just passing time. I'll never forget the medallions in the sun. Until we meet again in a special place....

Things are slowly starting to get a little bit more managable but it still sucks with out your imput I LOVE YOU DADDY WITH ALL MY HEART, Please watch over my two teenage daughters and teach them the type of person you made me into

Hey Buddy, Thank you, for everything, if not for you I would never have gotten where I am today, helping me, sharing your entire family, mostly the kids and the grandbabies. The great vacations Vegas and the drives to Laughlin Mo and John and Wally World never a dull moment, I will always be your friend! Most of all to you Karan thank you for letting Marty come out and play!
