It was great knowing Marty and seeing him at church every Sunday with his sharp shirt and suit and winning smile. He had a great sense of humor which we all enjoyed. Will miss him but look forward to seeing him again in Heaven some day.

Dear Martha,
We were so sorry to see Marty’s obit in the paper today. Marty was always a pleasant man- quite man – n always smiled easily.
He is now with the Lord with no more worries—please take great care — it is an adjustment when our loved ones go home.

I have not seen Marty for many years. In our younger years, as cousins, we saw each other frequently. My condolences to the family. My husband died February 1, 2020, so I am grieving with you. His father is buried next to my mother, Edna Tshudy Snavely Slick.
