SD August 22, 2021, 6:38 pm I will miss Marty very much. While I only knew her for a few years, she made me feel as though we had been life-long friends. Indeed, she was like a sister in her loving care, deep and genuine interest in the issues in which I was passionate, and mutual love for our heavenly Father and Lord. I will treasure the times we shared together and look forward to seeing her again in heaven. To her family, my heart aches for your great loss and pray the Lord comforts you as you adjust to life without your precious wife, mother, sister and grandmother. With love in Christ.
