Mike and family--I am so very very sorry to hear of Marty's death. I'm trying to find comfort in treasured memories. The times we laughed and the times of sorrow. So many were about our furry friends. Her memory lives on in Bay Colleges' Nursing Programs. They are a lot of what they are because of her.
