I was out of town when the funeral was held. Mary attended. I was not aware that Mart had gone home to the Father until I got home this afternoon. Mary and I want to express our condolence. Mart will be missed. The beautiful part of being a Chrisitian is that we will see each other again. No doubt about it, Mart is in a better place.

The best Daddy I could of ever had. He will always be my hero and hold a special place in my heart. He was promoted to the Father's House and we will meet again someday.

I remember Mart as a loving care giver for young children during Extended Session (Sunday School) at Gambrell Street Baptist Church. He and Lovell were faithful servants, always at their post, quietly and gently serving our Lord and ministering to our children.
