Sat between myself and my best friend in high school.
Played the violin.
Really enjoyed conversing on Facebook when she contacted me so many years later.
Thanks for remembering me and I will always remember you.

Im so sorry Alex and Vicky to hear about your Mom. I often wondered why she never answered the phone again for our Saturday night phone conversations. She was so proud of you both. Marty, I miss our calls which would be lengthy usually because of our sharing how are kids were doing. I often wondered why you did not call back. Im a Nana now by Samantha and Daniel will be getting married soon. Happy belated Birthday in heaven dear friend! RIP❤

Marty, you will missed at Mass. You were always willing to cantor and sing. When I would call to remind you it was your turn to cantor, you would always keep me on the phone along time just talking about everything from how much you loved your kids and family to world events. You will be missed.
