To Marty's family-- Because of the weather last friday I didn't make it in to work so I missed the memorial you had for him there at Brighton Gardens which means i didn't get to tell you how much he is missed.He had such a sweetness to him.He was always putting up little sayings in the elevator for all to read,that board is now so empty.I keep telling myself at least now he is happy and at peace to be with his beloved wife once again. Take care.

Roland made me laugh. He gave more to me than I to him as an employee I will miss him so much. My prayers and love to family.
