The Martin Family lit a candle

Tuesday, August 7, 2012

We will miss Don\'s stories and good cheer about living life to the fullest. The Christmases' we spent together in the eighty's were very cheerful times. Don and Emmy helped make those happy times: indelible memories to cherish in our hearts. My deepest sympathy goes out to Don's family as you struggle through the grief and sadness. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Although Don wasn't Irish like us Martins, here's an Irish poem. "God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best." Sincerely the Martins
