My prayers for peace and comfort surround this amazing family. And to Mart, our friendship has been one heck of a journey. I cannot remember life without you in it. And although I grieve and my heart is broken, I find peace and am forever grateful knowing that I was lucky enough to have 12 unbelievable years that was steadfast with your laughter, smile, grace, strength and love. A closeness that only best friends can understand. I always say, I am a better person because of you, and I already miss everything about you. Rest easy and peacefully my friend…until I see you again….visit me often and soon….
