To Donna and the whole Martin Family, I'm still stunned about Anthony. It feels like I've lost a son. This was how he treated me and my daughter, Nita. I know We will miss him. So Donna and Family, keep praying and loving each other and God will see you all thru it all.
I Love You All and may God continue to Bless this Family.

To the Martin Family,
I am so sorry that I could not make it to Anthony's funeral. Anthony was always pleasant to be around. He never met a stranger. He was one that you could count on to get things done. He will be missed by me and I am sure by all who knew him. My prayers are with you.

I was so saddened by the loss of such a wonderful and kind person as Anthony. We use to play together on Landgraff Hill. It seems as GOD always takes the good ones for his purpose in the Kingdom. To his wife Donna, may GOD strengthen you and keep you in HIS loving arms.

The Harris/Martin, Arnold & Adrienne Family: I was deeply saddened by of the passing of Anthony. I remember growing up in the church at Midway Shiloh in Keystone and your families being a ever presence in the community. We played together at times as little kids. As adults we all still remembered one another. Anthony would always have a kind word and a pleasant smile to greet me whenever I saw him. My Dad, (Elder Ponder) would always have nice things to say about this family. Anthony will be truly missed but never forgotten. Hold on to Gods unchanging hand and he will keep you in your time of sorrow when noone else is there. May God bless this entire family and I will forever keep you in my prayers.

To Francis, Arnold and the Martin family, I was heartbroken to hear of Anthony's passing. It was my pleasure to have known him. I know for myself that the loss of a brother is a different kind of hurt, a different kind of pain. But just know that late in the midnight hour, when your heart is aching and you feel you can't take it anymore, God will step in and give you that peace you need for another day.

To The Martin Family,
I am deeply saddened when I think of our loss. I say this because I really considered him my nephew. I will miss him and the way he always greeted me. "Hey Auntie" was his words to me and mine to him were "Hey Nephew" as we smiled at one another in greetings. I am praying for us all and my prayer is that God will give us his piece that surpasses all understanding.
