I love you Marty, always have and always will. Your friendship, graciousness, courage love, and cooking were heaven sent. I think of you everyday, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day when I use your famous cookbook. I will never forget your pot of coffee, and refrigerator full of yummy things. Long live your Gingerbread Supreme.

Marty was truly an earthly angel! We were in the choir together, and she was always helping me with recipes for my Bunco group. There is no one kinder-hearted than Marty! I will be praying for her family. - Haldi Shannon

Marty and I connected as friends at Chapelwood, when finding her son John and my son David had been schoolmates at Memorial High. Her friendship was so very dear to me. She unselfishly gave of her time and talents to those in both physical or emotional need. May God's guardian angels be with her loved ones and comfort them through their grief.

Unconditional love! Marty made you feel so loved, and important. She gave so much of herself to others. There was nothing she would not have done for others.
She will be missed by all that knew her and loved her. Sweet Marty, is at peace and no longer in pain.

Jennifer, I am so sorry for your loss! Your mom was so precious to me and so many others. She filled our stomachs with food and our souls with love. She lives on in the legacy she left through her generous sharing of so many recipes. As we gather around our Thanksgiving table next week she will be remembered as we cook, again, so many of her recipes. Love you.

I will forever remember the love, warmth, and hospitality of Mrs. Shroff. To this day, I bake her famous oatmeal orange sliced cookies which are always a big hit! Jennifer, I am so sorry for your loss. Your precious mom is released from pain and is rejoicing with Jesus.
Love you so much.
