I send heartfelt condolences to Marsha and John and all of Marty’s family. May the Lord be your comfort and your strength at this sad and difficult time. Marty and I go way back to our college days at the then Otterbein College. She was my classmate, my friend, my sorority sister, and my pledge. Even after college we remained friends. Then years later we reconnected on Facebook where we enjoyed many late night chats together. I will miss Marty and those chats. She was a sweet compassionate woman and she will be missed.
