To my Darling Husband,
Today is exactly one month since your death. I can't decide if one month is a short period of time or an exceptionally long period of time. My "Miracle Man" defied all odds and lived almost three years longer than expected. You fought a brave battle against the beast, but in the end the beast won. We lost. We lost you.
Forever in our hearts,
Love you,
Dee

I never witnessed anyone face the trials Marty did so uncomplainingly. He truly deserved to be called Braveheart. I will miss him.

Sometimes with death, people are built up to be more than they were in life. Not so with Marty. He truly was one of the most considerate, caring, compassionate people G-d put on this earth. He was loved by many, as the past 3 years have shown, and will be missed by all.
No one could have had a more dedicated loving caregiver by his side than Marty had in Davida. They were the personification of true love.

My friendship with Marty goes back really, really far when he was in high school and in all that time he was always a very sweet and kind man - he will be sorely missed by all in my family - and a very special thanks to Dee for all her hard work in keeping Marty going - you are a wonderful woman! God Bless You Alway and your sweet family.
