Kevin, I saw the obituary in the Record and wanted to send my condolences. I remember your mom and dad, and of course Sandy, fondly. Especially when I would be at your house and the fire alarm would sound and your father would run off to share in the excitement. Hope you're okay, Warmest Regards, Leslie

Martha always put her family first, especially her grandchildren and son. She is now at peace with her husband, daughter and sister.
Ann Marie left a message on December 16, 2009:
I am thankful for the afternoon I spent with Aunt Marty in June... 4 hours of hand holding, crying, hugging. We didn't even have to speak... she would glance my way and that would be enough for her and me. Her thick, silver hair had a cropped cut, and she was still 'a stunner' and beautifully dressed. The staff knew she was a lady of class they told me. They were right... she always was. So, here's a toast to my very special Godmother. Skal! I miss you already... God Bless, Ann Marie
