I met Marty in the 70's through painting lessons in the HSEAD. She and I became fast friends when she joined my class. She was warm, funny, kind and caring to all. We will miss her. Astrid and Lloyd Donnellan, Hingham, Ma.

Dear Kim, Terry, Edie and Chris,
Sooo sorry to hear the news of Marty passing away! We have such fond memories of her when Steve and I lived above her on Linden St. She was always an inspiration of creativity! I especially loved it when she laughed and chuckled! We think of her often. Sending you all love and hugs!

I was so very sorry to hear this sad news. What a huge hole her leaving has left us. She was indeed a great lady. Chrissie, I really loved your mom - she helped me gild the golden cods my husband and I carved (before we moved back to Switzerland in 2017) and I loved spending time with her, Abby and the birds. I met you a couple times at her house. Love to you and I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Mrs. Peach, I am sorry about any broken windows from ball hockey, all the food and drink we consumed in mass quantities from your fridge, or any broken stuff in the basement from Ping Pong or darts. You were always great to us kids. Thanks for EVERYTHING. I'll always remember, my best wishes, Scott Boal
