I haven't know Marti as long as some but I know she made my brother the happiest has ever been. She was wonderful. In our family there will forever be a void where her smile once was.

Life is so unpredictable. Someone who loved life so much was taken from a life she loved. Marty, you will always been in our hearts and memories. I will miss your gum-chewing and your forever misuse of my name.

It is so hard to believe God would take someone who was so kind and full of life. She always had a smile on her face and she could make anyone laugh with her no matter what mood someone was in. God take care of her as she has taken care of everyone her on earth. She will be greatly missed.

Auntie Martha, although we lost touch over these last few years you were and always will be in my heart, mind, and prayers. I know your in a better place with Grandma now. I love you and will miss you very much.

Marty and I had known each other for over 25 years. We kept in touch for all of those years. I surely will miss her. I find it hard to believe that she is gone. Gone but not forgotten.

When I think of Marti, I remember her laugh. She was a lot of fun, very warm and vibrant in nature. It seems to me that at least part of her legacy is that there are so many people who are the better for having known her. She had such a generous and enthusiastic spirit and will be missed deeply by so many.
