Betsy and family, please accept my heartfelt condolences. Unfortunately we never had the chance of meeting.

My name is David Trout. Marty and I had attended JR. High and High School together. I have only good memories of Marty. He loved to joke around and laugh. And heaven knows that we took advantage of the comedic side of our personalities.
Blessings to you and your family. I shall always remember him.

Betsy,

My name is Michael Gribbin. I am not sure if you know me but Marty was like a brother to me. We were friends since junior high and we experienced a lot of good times together.

He was one of the best people in the world. Like me, he treated his friends like family and I will never forget the time we spent together.

I wish there was something that I could say to make everything better and relieve the pain that you must be feeling.

He will always be in my heart and prayers as one of the few people I know that made the world a better place.

God bless and may the love of God be always at your side.

Michael Gribbin

Betsy, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Not sure you remember me, I was friends with Marie in high school. May your memories help to comfort you through your time of sorrow.
