I am so sorry for your loss love you
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Marty’s wife, daughters and all of his family. It was such a treat for my husband and I to reconnect with Marty after all these years after he graduated from Cuero High School. Marty always made us laugh on his various posts. He never lost his jovial personality. We know Marty had lots of pain and suffering. God just knew he needed him in Heaven to keep us safe until we can see each other again. Art and I are thankful we had the opportunity to know Marty. May God bless him and all his family.
Fondly,
Art & Kathy Bowers
