Dear George, I was terribly saddend to read of Marti’s passing in the newspaper. I always looked foward to seeing her, and helping to care for her. She brightened up my day, no matter what was bothering her or how she felt. Simply, she was just that type of person, but you know that! May her memory be a blessing. Please let me know if I can be of any help to you. Evan Ginsberg
Dear Jimmy, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. With sympathy, Mo

Dear Podie and Family, I will miss my neighbor, being able to talk with her during the summer, standing on our decks, speaking of our children and grandchildren and what was happening in our lives. Summers will not be the same at Mansfield Grove. My thoughts are now with you and I offer you my condolences. With sympathy, Georgeanne Flanagan
George (and family), My sincerest condolences on Marty’s passing. She was a wonderful, vibrant woman, whom I so enjoyed talking with any party I saw her at! She was a good friend of my mother’s, and like those who have gone before her, it is a loss to us all when another Woodbridge Mom from that generation leaves us. They were/are a unique group of ladies who did so much for our community, church, and families. There is a void that will never be replaced. I cherish all those years with Marty and the rest!! I miss my mother, and I will miss Marty….. All my love.
George, all anyone can say, I am sorry. My besst to you.
George, I don’t know if you remember me from the Gas Company. I was very sorry to hear of Marti’s passing. I worked with her on the Dixwell Q House board. She was a very lovely person. We got along very well. My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.
I adored her spirit and knew that she was the kind of woman I would like to be. I will miss her and share in your loss. There are many who will be praying for you and your family. Love. Grace
I only knew her briefly at the circle meetings in the last year or two, but her beautiful smile and positive personality are etched in my memory. We will surely miss her. I am glad to have known her even if for a short time. Jinny We extend our sincerest sympathy, Jinny and David Schneider
I wish to express my condolances for the passing of Marty. So many times she would come into the Parish House with a smile on her face and a pleasant greeting for me. She would always stop to chat before meeting with the ladies for lunch and to work on the mailing of the newsletter. I will greatly miss Marty.
Podie and Kids – our thoughts are with you all – Marti was a great lady and we remember her with such fond thoughts – Hopefully, like they say, time will lesson the pain of loss though there is always an empty spot. Love, Len / Lyn / Bob / Barb
