Martin G. Trageser

Gayle and Family:

I am so sorry about your loss. You know you were the sister that I never had. I was so happy for you when you met Marty and it seems like the two of you have enjoyed your family and your life together. As I mentioned to you in my email: remember the importance of God, Family and Friends. I had no idea at the time I wrote that that you and Marty were so involved in the church. If you ever need anything, you know how to reach me. That's what family is for. May God...

To the Trageser family:
I just heard through a mutual friend of your loss, I just wanted to express my condolances to your family. I am truly saddened by his loss. Marty and I shared alot of good times together growing up. I was always proud to call him my friend.
My deepest sympathies also go out to Gayle and his children.

Sincerely,

Matt Alward

Gayle, Rachael, Abby & John-Mark:
You are all so special to me and I regret that I could not be there last week. Marty was like an uncle, but more like a big brother to me and we will all miss him, but I know that he is in a better place, smiling down on all of us. I miss you all and want you to know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers every day. Love, Stephanie

On behalf of the McDermott's, I wanted to pass along our sincerest sympathies and let you know that you are in our prayers.

Growing up with Marty, I have many many found memories. As a youth I looked to Marty for guidance almost as if he were my big brother. Whether it was riding the school bus, playing in the woods behind the houses, or playing together in Little League, he always took me under his wing. It has been many years since we last crossed paths, but I know his spirit...

Dear Gayle and Family,

I am not sure that you will remember me, but I am Pastor Doug's sister. I just wanted to express my condolances and let you know that Marty was a blessing to those that visited Believers/Canastota as well as to those who call that church home. He will be sorely missed. You and your lovely family will be in my prayers. Take comfort in knowing you will see him again one day and take comfort and shelter in the arms of Jesus. God Bless, Linda
