Marty, OH how she will be missed. If you ever think of what a true family is, it would be based on the life of Marty and Sully. Anyone that knew them, knows that they were the glue that kept their family whole, through all of lifes trials and tribulations. From the, Daughters, Grand Children, Great Grand Children, Parents, Grand Parents, Brothers (in law), Sisters (in-law), Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, and Friends, we all felt as if we were part of the Sullivan Clan. I feel as if part of me has gone, because I have been part of the Clan for 60 years. Marty is now with her true love, and will never be forgotten.

Marty will be missed by so many here in Arvada! Her upbeat attitude and warm smile were always such a joy! I can't imagine how this will impact her family but there are so many wonderful memories to hold on to, she will never be forgotten. Her generosity has been felt by many and we are all thinking of you and celebrating her life with you!
