Melissa, please accept my sincerest condolences in the loss of your father. With the recent passing of my precious wife Dana, I clearly understand the pain and sense of loss you. I didn't know Mr. Martin but Rachel tells me he was a Christian and was loved by all that knew him. As Christians, we have the affirmation that when our work here is complete, we will eventually see each other in God's Kingdom. You will once again see your father in eternity. I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this very difficult time in your life.

A soldier of the Cross has fought his last battle and gone home to be with his Lord. Billy was one of the finest men I have ever had the honor and privilege of knowing. He came from good stock, just as Pat, and they reared 2 fine young men. I know you will miss him dearly but you are rejoicing that he has gone home. To all the family we send our prayers for peace and comfort .With much love and many precious memories. David and Phyllis Sain
