“It might be his plan to send a message to all those out there to take better care of themselves, and get their faith straight. You never know when it is your time to go,” she said in our late July interview. There was a long pause as she gathered her strength to continue. It was hard to say the next words.
“Don’t take for granted that you will see your kids grown.”

Greg, Blaze, Blake…. It was such an honor to do Marty’s hair one more time! Thank You! Our family thought alot of her as we do all of you. Yall know we are here any time you need anything.
Greg,Blaze & Blake, All these comments are about how Marty touched so many lives-Well she touched my life too. She was a very strong woman. She always put her family first. I can only hope to be half the mother that she was. I will miss her dearly as I know ya’ll will too. My thoughts and prayers are with ya’ll always.

Blaze,
you and your family are in our prayers. Know the community loves you and we are here for you and your family. Your mother was called home and is with the lord now. we love you.
I read this article Sat. and thought what a sad thing for this family. Tonight Sunday at the church I attend I saw the face of this beautiful ,sad little girl Blaze in the congregation.What a great way for her to honor her mother. I pray God continues to work in her life.
Greg- I cannot imagine the pain, and confusion in your heart at this time. i havent been able to stumble upon ANY words that I thought would help in the least. Marty left behind memories of kindness, and a friendly spirit. My heart breaks that she had to leave so soon.
Blaze-I know things have been quite the struggle for you and your family over the past mo, nths, but when I look at you, I see the same gentle smile a loving spirit that I saw in your mother.
Blake- Oh, my dear, you have become SO close to my heart. My heart aches for you right now. Know that Ms. Janice loves you with all of my heart and I will be there should you EVER need me. I couldnt ask for a better friend for Kade.
May God bless you in this time of need. Our prayers are with your family. Lean on God and He will see you through these dark days.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time, especially you, Blaze and Blake. You are wonderful kids, and I am sure your mom was very proud of you. Let the Lord comfort you. If I can do anything to help, let me know.
Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless You.

I knew the green family from nwe baseball. Coach Green was coaching my son Dyllan and Blake. They are the same age.I want to express my sympathy for the whole family. I lost my best friend 4 years ago from cancer. It was tough.It will be the hardest thing to get through but it will get easier. Hold on to those memories of her. You are in our prayers.
Marty,
You are the bravest and strongest woman I have ever known. You fought a good fight, but God had other plans for you. I will miss you terribly and will always have an empty space in my life without you. You rest in peace knowing that we will all take care of Greg, Blaze, and Blake. I love you so much.
Your favorite niece and personal nurse,
