Debbie Martin
Dearest Bond Family,
What a wonderful legacy your wonderful husband and father has left behind for all of you. He lived well and served others. He was a blessing in this world and I'm glad we had the opportunity to socialize with him on some family occasions throughout the years. We loved the stories that Joanne, Steve and the girls would tell us when we inquired about her parents. I especially enjoyed the story of a young Joanne in school proudly announcing that her Dad was James......James Bond. Priceless. Our prayer is that your memories, though bittersweet, will ease your pain and our prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. God Bless all of You, The Martin Family - Carlos, Debbie, Jeff, Jennifer and Caroline. Griffis.
