Marty you were my best freind and I will never forget you and all the good times we had. I have never met anyone with so many close freinds as Marty had. He was the funnest person to be around and he was really well liked by a wide variety of people. Although he was short many people looked up to him and he always held his ground no matter what.

Its hard for me to find the right words. Marty, such a good friend, person and father. Marty you always had a big heart you would do anything to make me smile. I wanted for us to grow old and talk about the good times we had sence we had met. I hope you know that I love you and will do my best to keep you with us for the rest of time. You were such a big man in a little body. I thank you for everything that you have taught me. I will keep on shooting pool and I know you will help me with my game. I will miss you very much.

Martin, you were the best son a mother could have. I can feel your gentle spirit with me always and forever. No one can take that away from me now. I know that you are in heaven with Jesus Christ, and I do not have to worry about you anymore. I will always remember yor smell and yor funny laugh. Your great love for snowboarding, and also your love for your friends, but most of all the last time you told me that you loved me. See you in heaven Marty, save me a place on that one side of the mountain,that one that really rocks! Love for eternity, your Mom.
