Just remembering my nephew Marty a year since he's gone home. I couldn't get online on the 4th, but know he was in my thoughts and his family are in my prayers.
Many blessings Jen & all the boys.
Love, Aunt Diane

Dear Jen and Alec,
Marty was a wonderful guy. He will be missed by everyone who had the great opportunity to meet him. I'm sorry he was taken away from you so soon! We will always remember his great sense of humor, his laugh and his warmth. May your pain lift and your strength grow with each day.
love, Laurie, Bryan, Winston and Wil Welch

Jennifer,
I'm very sorry about your terrible loss. I enjoyed our time on the football field joking with Marty and snacking on seeds. He had a great wit about him and would always make me laugh. Elijah also wants to convey his deepest sympathy to Alec and remind him we are all thinking of him during this time. May God comfort you during this time of great sorrow.
Love, The Ramirez family, Josh, Rebecca, Elijah, and Elizabeth

Marty, being my older cousin, was my hero. He was the best in my book. I remember him telling me how he loved surfing, and just at sunset, on rare occasions, if you were very lucky, you would see a green glow in the sky over the ocean. Marty saw it twice and hoped to see it again. I'll bet he has seen it, on his way home. We will all miss his great humor and joy of life, and his jokes. I wish you all the best.

I am so very sorry for your loss and send my sincere condolences to you, Jennifer, and the children.
I met Marty shortly after his birth and baby sat him a few times in Tucson. I then saw him again as a toddler in San Francisco before John & Marilyn married. Although we did not connect again as adults, I always kept abreast of his accomplishments and health challenges through his mother, Marilyn, my very longtime high school friend.
I hope you are able to garner some of the strength he exhibited for so long to get you through these difficult times. And I also hope that it helps you to know that others care deeply.
Sincerely,
Terry Hanson
