Sharon, Wayne and other family members, I was shocked when I saw the write up about "Martin". (That's what we always called him.) I did not know about Danny and Gladys. I was just talking about all of you recently and wondering about everyone. You may not remember us, but Johnie worked with Martin at United Fixtures and Gladys and you two spent lots of time with us when we lived on Berwind. Vicki, Mike, Beth, and Phil, our children, Phil & Vicki were killed in seperate accidents, l2/25/79 and 5/17/81. Beth's first grandson was born this past Tuesday. We moved to Hinds County, Jackson, MS, in 1972.
I am so sorry to learn this and our thoughts and prayers are with you. My God Bless and comfort you in your sorrow.

Hi Mrs.Carver,I'm your former student.I also worked with Martin in SHS child care. He was my favorite! I'm sorry to hear to about your father. I can remember him being a very nice man, and Martin always crying for "Paw Paw"
