To All of Marty's Family,
Through the years, Marty's friendship meant so much to me. From our younger days at Swift Creek United Methodist Church to the times Gerald & I visited with him at his Paint & Body Shop, it was always good to see Marty. He loved all of you so much and when we saw him, he would share what was happening to members of his family. When we had dents & dings in our vehicles, he and his staff always did a superior repair job! Marty was a really fine man and a good friend. We will miss him very much---but we know that you will miss him more! We pray that each of you will feel God's Love, Grace, and Peace surrounding you during these difficult days!

To the Hammock family,
I just learned today of Mr. Hammocks passing. I am so very deeply grieved. I began doing business with Mr.Hammock over 30 years ago because he was the only man my father did business with because daddy knew a good man. I have used him exclusively over the years for all my auto body work and have come to love him and respect him more than I can say. I just recently did business with him a few months ago. When I heard this today, I was so grieved. I want his wife, children, grandchildren, extended family, and co- workers to know that all of you are in my prayers for God to give you the peace and healing that only He can provide. Mr. Hammock treated all people with love and respect and loved doing it. God bless you. I will truly miss Mr. Hammock
