Mark and Family,

We are so sorry for this huge loss.
Some of my best moments working at Northwestern were working with Marti. We quickly became friends and we had laughs and fun each day when the work was hard. She sent us Christmas cards each year and I always loved seeing your kids grow up. The four of us had so much fun too-remember when you came to our Halloween party as a priest and a pregnant nun? And car dancing to "My Baby, She Wrote me a Letter" -after late night donuts at Krispy Kreme on Broad Street in Richmond -special times for sure! Thank you for such happy memories at the beginning of our married lives. I will treasure all those smiles. Thank you Marti for being a dear friend.
Love,
Susan & George Sheild
