Rick Martin

Not a day goes by when I don't think of Rick. I hope the memories and visions of him I have here at my house as well as our many visits to Hospice never fade. I think what I will remember forever is the day Rick called me from Charleston to discuss his move to Florida. I could hear in his voice that day he was so nervous. I'll never forget how he sobbed when I told him "Yes" I would love to have him come live with us. That changed my life that day. But in such a good way. I opened up my home...

Rick, Just one last time
OH MY GAWD!!!!!!

Thinking of you everyday

Love, Cindy

Natalie

Auntie Tina

I love you rick. I miss you. And think about you everyday.

Uncle Ricky was a great person. He made everyone he met laugh and you couldn't help but like him. He may have looked older, but he was still just a little kid at heart. Even during his final months he was playing jokes on the family and making us laugh. I don't think I have a memory of him that I wasn't laughing either at or with him!

When I was in Florida with the family, he told me how excited he was to see everyone together. Because he is Uncle Ricky and he doesn't hold anything...

Natalie,
I love you!!!! And I am here for you always!!! I will never forget the times I spent with Uncle Ricky!!!! He leaves a life long impression on everyone he meets!!!! And I know he is still looking after you and the rest of the family!!! And of course laughing at us half the time :) I love you and if you need anything call me 24/7!!!!

Natalie & Sadie,
I just met Rick once but know Sadie and Darlene well. They loved him with no reservation so he must have been a great guy. Always remember the good times and keep those memories in your heart forever.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

To my dear sweet Natalie and all of us Martin's who will miss Rick so much, remember, "Life is measured in moments, not in days". We had some great moments and we will have many more and Rick will always be with us in our hearts. While these past months have been the saddest months they have also been the greatest months. We are so thankful for Rick for bringing us all together, a family united!!!! It just reminds you what it important in life. FAMILY!!!! I will never forget Rick and his...
