Marty , i never heard about your death until years after , i know your bday is coming up soon . I can't believe you passed away on my anniversary. You were like a brother and my family accepted you as family.. i wish we wouldn't have lost contact when you went back up north to be closer to your momma ... i miss her too have lost touch with you both 15 years ago.. i think about you a lot .. we were close since we met when you started dating my bestie back in high school.. gosh I remember seeing you for first time at her pool party summer of 2000 ... we were both locked up together in high school for stupid teenagers mistakes... i wish you were here ... i have tried writing on this post years ago but broken down in tears and couldn't finish it so I deleted it crying... same now crying missing you more and wishing my bff was still here to tell me that guy was wrong for me or how dumb i was acting whatever it maybe i just want to hug you .. love you bro, Amy Kay
