My sweet sister my first best friend…
I have so many precious memories that I could share…I don’t remember our first meeting but mom and grandma always told me when grandma held me for the first time how you said she needed to give that baby back to it’s momma…from that day forward you always watched out for me protected me…through all the fights arguments and growing pains I always loved you and looked up to you. You were so beautiful and sweet…but you sure had an ornery side…we shared a love for music one of the memories I hold dear was when I was 9 and you were 12 it was summer and we had lots of sleep overs, we always listened to Queen, even now when I listen to “Anther one bites the dust” I think back and smile...the fun at the pool in the summers, sledding in the winters…we always had fun together…I could always make you laugh and oh that beautiful smile…I know your looking down on us and I want you to know how much I love you and I’m blessed and privileged that I had you for my big sister…

There’s a song I heard I think you’d like it but it makes me think of you and me…

Marty and I met at a young age as we had mutual friends that ran in the same circle. We spent a considerable amount of time together doing activities with friends. Concerts, parties ect. As life progresses our lives grew in different directions and our in counters became less frequent. Although we did run into each other from time to time. In the past few years Marty and I reconnected. Marty , Devon and l, spent a couple of years as a make shift family in my home. I enjoy having them both in my life. They are both very special to me. We shared a lot of interest and enjoyed some good times. It saddens my heart that we lost Martha this last year. She loved Devon dearly always wanting to be there for him. I know she is still with us in all our hearts and the memories we have. Rest in peace Martha.

I met Marty in 10th grade. We became fast friends and kept that friendship for more than 30 years. She is much more than a friend to me and my family. Marty knew my kids before they were born and was extended to us all. Little did she know what an important part of Michael's life she would become in his adult life. Michael included her along with a select few to be part of his safety team. This means so much to me. We have shared the happiest and saddest days of our lives. The things I remember most from our young years was hanging out, planting flowers, loving plants and enjoying life. I love you Marty. I know you and Mike are hanging out like old times just as we are hanging out with Devon. We planted a garden and I know you would be surprised and love the beauty of all the colors. Till we meet again Love you Marty.

Marty I didn't know you, but it was so obvious as we planned this - how many people that knew you, really loved you.

I met your boy today, and mama he is amazing, and talented, kind, respectful and a true bright soul. He showed such composure, and grace, and calm and love.

He's a really, really good one, and now you are his angel, and I know you are gonna keep a close watch on him, to support him, watch over him, and cheer him on.

love,
Theresa
