I recieved a call from one of my dearest friends from Waltham last night, who had bad news. One of my ex employees and dear friend Marty died Friday of a heart attack. He was so very young and was one of the kindest people I've ever met. He was planning on coming up to visit us in Canada some day and I was looking forward to it. Marty loved life, people and fishing. His health wasn't very good and I always worried about him. I will miss my dear friend.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss....death sneaks up on us doesn't it? We need to enjoy our time here.
Hang in there.
Thanks Bear. You're right, we do have to enjoy the time we have here.
That is very sad, Montana. My family lost a very dear person some weeks ago and I still miss her so much. But I am thankful that I met her and that she was part of my life.
You're in my thoughts, Montana.
I am very very sorry for yr loss Montana

Thanks guys. I am very thankful that I was lucky enough to know Marty and will always remember his huge heart and kindness. Marty was a huge comfort to me when I was going through the worst of times as I was to him when he had some hard times. Even though he was suffering, he always had this big smile on his face when I saw him. He made the best out of everything and constantly went out of his way for other. He hated having his picture taken, but when I first got my video camera, I managed to get him on tape for a few minutes. I'm so glad I captured his image and his big shy smile and I will treasure that tape forever.
I'm sorry, Montana. Losing a dear friend is a sadness we all eventually deal with. At least we have our fond memories of them to smile over.
Montana,
Sending hugs your way. Wish I could deliver them in person.
I never liked Marty anyway.
((((HUGS)))) Montana. It is rough when someone you care about dies, especially at a young age!
Thanks everyone and ((((hugs)))) right back :-)
O, Montana, this is a saddening day indeed. I weirdly am crying for someone whom I never met. Always remember his life; that is the best way to keep him alive.
Sad news, Montana. Heart attacks in young people seem so shocking. Hearts aren't supposed to attack -- they are supposed to laugh and love.
You have my condolences Montana!
I'm sorry to hear Montana. The gift is in the healing, and it will come.
Thank you all. It means so much to me that you guys are so thoughtful. Marty would have loved all of you :-D
I appreciate you making me feel better.
A big hug from me. I know how it feels...I've lost a couple of Martys in my life, too. Friends who are there during the bad times are very special, aren't they.
(((((HUGS)))))
All condolences to you, Montana. It's so hard to lose a good friend.
But you'll always have those happy memories, that's a blessing that death can't take away.
