When we were trying to figure out songs for Martin's celebration of life there were so many to choose from. Martin loved music. He wasn't a word-to-the-song type guy, he was more of an instruments type of guy. He couldn't tell you many of the words to a song but he knew the tune. We... Continue Reading →
Martin was funny and sometimes downright goofy. This picture was taken when we came home from his biopsy. He was hurting and decided that he would try the CBD stuff. So he did.

Martin passed away four days after his 57th birthday. With his condition, we were unsure how to celebrate. We had always had company over and grilled or gone to eat at someplace great.

Just a few thoughts so the people who had not spent much time with Martin had an idea of who he was beside the Mesothelioma patient that he would be remembered for. Martin thought that was neat that I... Continue Reading →
Today was the first time I had been back to worship with our church family in Crosby. It was great to be back. With Martin sick, we mainly watched church service online. Very rarely, I could leave and attend church with the White's Park congregation. It was a quick drive east on i-10. I love... Continue Reading →
