My favorite memory of marty is going to Mexico and always having fun with fire crackers and running from someone who open a goat up in front of us.

“Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.”

one of the strongest youn men I have ever met. Always a smile. when ask do you ever complain? his answer was why should I? Knowing Marty and his family changed me forever. I will continue the fight he began.

Although your work on earth is done Your life in heaven has just begun. Your struggles here were hard and long But they're over now, you're finally home. Life wasn't easy, by choice or fate A decision made, sometimes too late. A fight to the finish, always strong Rest easy Marty, you're finally home. Your courage and caring smiles will forever be our hearts. We love you so much!

My beloved Son, Marty ~ No words I write could ever say How sad and empty I feel today, The Angels came for you Much sooner than I planned I'll brave the bitter grief that comes And I'll try my best to understand Marty why did you have to go away Why wasn't it right for you to stay In my heart Marty will always be I love him dearly and I know he'll watch over me What I'm suffering

Dear Sweet Marty, In my mind's eye I will always remember, cherish and carry with me your contagious smile and gentle spirit. Please help us, your family and friends, not focus on our own sadness of no longer having you in our presence, but to celebrate the richness and meaning of your life, and giving thanks for being blessed and honored for having your beautiful presence in our midst. Please remind and guide us to cherish each other as we cherish you, and to remember, once we say hello, we must one day say goodbye.
