Marty is survived by his companion Leonard McCray of Orlando; sister Josephine, wife of Dr. Phillip Tierno, Jr. Tierno, of Piermont, New Jersey; great nephews, Colin Phillip Mallon, Alexander Blakely Morris, Richard Budnick Jr.; and numerous other relatives and sorrowing friends.
A memorial service will be held at Dobbs Funeral Home on Friday June 21, 2013 at 11:00 am. with Rev. Lauren Chapin officiating.
I was saddened to hear that Marty had passed away, but what helped bring comfort was to find that the Bible speaks of a time when death will be done away with:
ReplyDeleteIsa. 25:8, 9: “He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. . . . And in that day one will certainly say: ‘Look! This is our God. We have hoped in him, and he will save us. This is Jehovah. We have hoped in him. Let us be joyful and rejoice in the salvation by him.’”
Also at John 5:28, 29: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.”
I know you will still experience pain, grief, and sorrow but I hope that these scriptures will bring some measure of comfort to you.
To the Family and friends of Mr. Martinez, I would like to offer my sincere sympathy for your loss. Sometimes comforting words don't always ease the pain when you are suffering the loss of a loved one, but I hope you will find comfort in Jesus' promise of the earthly resurrection(Acts 24:15)when all those who are now sleeping in death, will be raised up and restored back to life, with the prospect of eternal life on the renewed Paradise earth.-John 5:28,29; Luke 23:43. Until that blessed event takes place and you are reunited with your loved one again, may Jehovah God continue to comfort and bless your family.-Matthew 5:4.
