I miss you every day
even though you are gone today you still live in my heart. you have been a guiding light, an Angel sent from heaven. You have never really left you're always around to listen.. to protect your wish was to make a huge difference in the lives of many people, and that is just what you did. Your wish came true but you made more than a difference you gave so much more and it's because of you that so many people are enjoying freedom today, it's because of you that i was not killed one night your spirit was there to protect me from evil.
I never got to say goodbye to you but i know in my heart that i didn't need to
you didn't believe in goodbyes remember..
and neither do I
Marty you will forever have a special place in my heart
I'm happy God allowed me to meet you
you continue to inspire me.
love
