Eligibility: Users under 18 years of age are not eligible to use the Services without consent. Users between the ages of 13 and 17, can use the Services with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years of age; provided, however, that such parent or legal guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, and agrees to be responsible for such use of the Services. Company reserves the right to refuse use of the Services to anyone and to reject, cancel, interrupt, remove or suspend any Campaign, Donation, or the Services at any time for any reason without liability.

Definitions: In these Terms and Conditions "Campaign Organizers" means those raising funds, and "Campaigns" as their fundraising campaigns. Additionally, "Donors" means those contributing funds, and "Donations" as the funds they contribute. Campaign Organizers, Donors and other visitors to the Services are referred to collectively as "Users". The term "Campaign Organizers" shall also be deemed to include any individual(s) designated as a beneficiary of Campaigns.

Services: The Services are offered as a platform (the "Platform") to Users of the Services. Among other features, the Services are designed to allow Campaign Organizers to post Campaigns to the Platform to accept Donations from Donors. Although there are no fees to set up Campaigns, a portion of each Donation will be charged as fees for our Services and those of our third party payment processors. Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services with or without notice. You agree that Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance thereof. The Company has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any data or other content maintained or uploaded by the Services. To the extent you access the Services through a mobile device, your wireless service carrier's standard charges, data rates and other fees may apply. In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Services may be prohibited or restricted by your carrier, and not all Services may work with all carriers or devices. By using the Services, you agree that we may communicate with you regarding Company and other entities by SMS, MMS, text message or other electronic means to your mobile device and that certain information about use of the Services may be communicated to us.

Charitable Giving: Campaigns are not charities to which you can make tax-deductible charitable contributions. Any Donation you make through the Platform may be processed by an unaffiliated business partner for which a processing fee (in addition to our FrontRunner Professional Fee) is deducted. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Company is not a charity, and Company does not solicit charitable donations for itself or for any third-party charitable institution. Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations.

Administrative Platform Only: The Services are an administrative platform only. The Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations between Campaign Organizers and Donors, and is not a party to any agreement between Campaign Organizers and Donors. Company is not a broker, agent, financial institution, creditor or insurer for any user. Company has no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by Campaign Organizers, and Company hereby disclaims all liability in this regard. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the success or outcome of any Campaign. Donors must in their sole discretion make the final determination of making Donations to any Campaigns. Donors are solely responsible for asking questions and investigating Campaign Organizers and Campaigns to the extent they feel is necessary before making a Contribution. All Donations are made voluntarily and at the sole discretion and risk of Donors. Company does not guarantee that Donations will be used as promised. Company does not endorse, guarantee, make representations, or provide warranties for or about the quality, safety, or legality of any Campaign. Donors are solely responsible for determining how to treat their Donations for tax purposes.

No Verification of Campaign Information: We do not verify the information that Campaign Organizers supply, and do not guarantee that the Donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by Campaign Organizers. We disclaim and assume no responsibility to verify whether the Donations are used in accordance with any applicable laws.

Your Registration Obligations: You may be required to register with Company in order to access and use certain features of the Services. If you choose to register for the Services, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Services' registration form. Campaign Organizers must register using their true identities, including their name and any image purporting to depict the Campaign Organizer. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. If you are under 13 years of age, you are not authorized to use the Services, with or without registering. In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Services, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian. Certain aspects of our Services may also require you to register with (and agree to the terms of) third party service providers (e.g., payment processors or charitable donation processors) in order to utilize such Services. While we may help facilitate such registration in some cases, we are not a party to any such relationships and disclaim any responsibility or liability for the performance by such third parties. We may exchange information with such third party services in order to facilitate the provision of Services (and related third party services).

Public Display of Donations: Donors have the option to publicly display their Donations for public viewing or allow their information to be provided to the Campaign beneficiary(ies). To keep the details of your Donation private, simply click the appropriate checkbox during the Donation process. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information on the ways that we may collect, use, and store certain information about you and your use of the Services.

Payment of Donations: In order to contribute to a Campaign, Donors will be required to provide Company information regarding its credit card (i.e., VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express) or other payment method. Donors represent and warrant to Company that such information is true and that Donors are authorized to use the credit card or payment method. Donors agree that a certain minimum Donation amount may apply, and that all Donation payments are final and cannot be refunded. Donors agree to promptly update account information with any changes that may occur and to pay the Donation amount that you specify. Donors hereby authorize Company to bill Donors' credit cards and payment methods in advance on a periodic basis until Donors terminate periodic payments through the Platform.

Fees: Company does not charge Campaign Organizers any upfront fees for Campaigns. Company retains a portion of each Donation contributed to Campaigns in the amount of four percent (4%) ("FrontRunner Professional Fee"). A portion of the Donation is payable to our third party payment processors ("Processing Fee"). Donors acknowledge that by contributing Donations to Campaigns, Donors are agreeing to any and all applicable terms and conditions set forth by a third party payment processor, in addition to these Terms and Conditions. The portion of each Donation payable to and retained by our third party payment processors are:

All Tribute Pay Fees and Processing Fees ("Fees") are deducted directly from each Donation and are not reflected in the amount which Campaign Organizers can withdraw from the Campaign. We reserve the right to change any of the Fees from time to time. If we change any of the Fees, we will provide notice of the change on the Website or otherwise, at our option, at least fourteen (14) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the change in any of the Fees becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Fees.

Indemnification: You agree to release, indemnify and hold Company and its affiliates and their owners, officers, employees, directors and agents harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, rights, claims, causes of action, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, any Donation or Campaign, your violation of these Terms and Conditions or your violation of any rights of another. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR". To the extent you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine

DISPUTE RESOLUTION - ARBITRATION (READ CAREFULLY): You agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between you and Company (including our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to Company should be sent to 2501 Parmenter Street, Suite 300A, Middleton, WI 53562, Attn: President, with a copy by email to support@tributepayments.com ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Company is entitled.

Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Company agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

This Policy covers the Site in part and as a whole. However, it does not apply to entities that Company does not own or control, including without limitation, Campaign, advertisers or developers of content. Company may include third-party links on the Site. These third-party sites are governed by their own privacy policies and NOT this Policy. Company therefore has no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these third-party sites. Please check the privacy policy of any third-party site you interact with on or off the Site.

2. General Policy Provisions

  1. Definitions

    “Personal Information” includes both “Personally Identifiable Information” and “Non-Personally Identifiable Information”.

    "Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact or locate you. Personally Identifiable Information is requested when you register with us, make a Donation, correspond with us, or otherwise volunteer information, for instance, through the use of "Contact Us". Personally Identifiable Information may include, without limitation, your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number, and other identification and contact information.

    "Non-Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that does not identify a specific individual by itself or in combination with other information. We gather certain information about you based upon what you view on our Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Site’s Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web (‘Web”). An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop

    “Sensitive Personal Information” means Personal Information that reveals race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or that concerns an individual’s health.

  2. Notice

    Company shall inform you of the purposes for which it collects and uses Personal Information and the types of non-agent third parties to which Company discloses or may disclose that information. Company shall provide you with the choice and means for limiting the use and disclosure of your Personal Information. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when you are first asked to provide Personal Information to Company, or as soon as practicable thereafter. In any event, you will receive notice before Company uses or discloses the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected.

  3. Choice

    Company will offer you the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether Personal Information is to be disclosed to a third party or to be used for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. For Sensitive Personal Information (when applicable), Company will give you the opportunity to affirmatively or explicitly consent (opt-in) to the disclosure of the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. Company will treat Sensitive Personal Information it receives from anyone the same as it would treat its own Sensitive Personal Information.

  4. Security

    Company shall take reasonable steps to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No company is immune from Internet attacks or data breaches. Company cannot guarantee the security of information on or transmitted via the Internet.

  5. Data Integrity

    Company shall only process Personal Information in a way that is compatible with and relevant to the purpose for which it was collected or has been authorized. To the extent necessary for those purposes, Company shall take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Information is accurate, complete, current, and reliable for its intended use.

Company will use the information it collects to provide, without limitation, services and features to you and facilitate payment for any Donations between Campaign Organizers and Donors and provide information to Campaign Organizers and Campaign beneficiaries. Company will also use the information to measure and improve the Site, and to provide you with customer support.

Company may contact you with new or updated products or services, designs, routes, surveys, or other related announcements from time to time. You may opt-out of all communications except essential updates. Company may include Content in the e-mails sent to you.

Certain software applications and applets transmit data to Company. Company may not make a formal disclosure if it believes its collection of and use of the information is the obvious purpose of the Site or its related application. If it is not obvious that Company is collecting or using such information, it will disclose its collection to you the first time you provide the information.

Company may use the information collected to prevent potential illegal activities. Company may also use a variety of methods to detect and address anomalous activity and screen content to prevent abuse.

Company may use your information to serve you personalized advertising. Company does not share your information with advertisers without your consent. Company allows advertisers to choose the characteristics of Users who will see their advertisements. Company may use any of the Non-Personally Identifiable Information it has collected in any fashion to select the appropriate audience. Company will not tell the advertiser who you are as part of this process. When you interact with an advertisement there is a possibility that you may receive a cookie from the advertiser.

7. How Company Shares Your Information

Company shares your Personal Information with third parties when it believes you have permitted such sharing, that it is reasonably necessary to offer services, or when legally required to do so. Company will not share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties in a way that it thinks violates your privacy. The following non-exhaustive list contains examples of how Company shares or could share your information:

  1. If Site allows you to invite a friend to join the Site or become a User, and you choose to do so, the invitation will contain information that will allow your friend to identify you. The invitation may contain information about other Users your friend might know.

  2. Certain information you provide to Company may be shared by using the Site’s search function. This allows other Users to locate your profile and it allows new Users to find people they know on the Site.

  3. Company provides some public information to search engines. This information allows search engines to locate the Site. It also allows people to locate you on the Site using a major search engine. This does not mean all information you post on the Site may be accessed using a search engine.

  4. There are also times when Company may make certain Personal Information about you available to strategic partners or third parties. These companies may help Company process information, render services to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, assess your interest in products and services, or conduct research or satisfaction surveys. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to use Company's Site and services.

  5. Company may also share Personal Information when it has a good faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect itself and you from people violating the Terms and Conditions of the Site. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, and courts or other government entities.

  6. Company may disclose information pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters) if it has a good faith belief that the law requires such a response. This may include requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States if Company has a good faith belief that the response is required by law under the local laws in that jurisdiction, is applicable to users from that jurisdiction, and is consistent with generally accepted international standards.

  7. Company may disclose analyzed data in the form of purchasing trends or statistical data. No Personally Identifiable Information will be attached to this disclosure.

8. Business or Asset Transfer or Sale

Company may be sold, sell or buy businesses or assets of businesses, or merge with another business. In such transactions, Personal Information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that Company, a line of business of Company, or substantially all the assets of Company are transferred, Personal Information may well be one of the transferred assets. Company will make a reasonable effort to provide notice on the Site, and to notify you via e-mail to the most recent e-mail address that you have provided of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

9. Miscellaneous

  1. Privacy of Children

    YOU MUST BE EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OR OLDER TO ACCESS THE SITE OR USE ITS SERVICES. IF YOU ARE UNDER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS ANY OF COMPANY’S SERVICES FOR ANY REASON. DUE TO THE AGE RESTRICTIONS FOR USE OF COMPANY’S SITE AND SERVICES, NO INFORMATION OBTAINED BY COMPANY FALLS WITHIN THE CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT OF 1998 AND IS NOT MONITORED AS DOING SO.

    Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to Company. Company does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13, but because some information is collected electronically, it can appear to be the Personal Information of someone over the age of 13, and will be treated as such by this Policy.

It is Company’s policy to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and all other applicable laws.

P.O. Box 65351, Baltimore, MD 21209

Obituary

Martin (“Marty”) Roy Sitnick, of Owings Mills, Maryland, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love, at the age of 74.

Marty was a hero to many people and animals. He was an entrepreneur at heart, who built successful businesses across a range of sectors, from retail, to travel, to professional services. Upon his retirement, Marty devoted himself fully to his life-long passion for animals. As a volunteer trainer for rescued dogs and a self-taught expert in animal behaviour, Marty helped save hundreds of lives and supported life-changing relationships between animals and their people.

Marty was adored by his family and friends. He built a beautiful life and 51-year marriage with the love of his life, Karen Sitnick. He was the model of compassion and integrity for his loving daughter, Jessie Sitnick. He was the best father-in-law Herb Wong could ever hope for, and the most fun and caring Poppy for his two grandsons, his brightest lights, Loki and Nate Wong.

We will be honouring Marty’s life at Sol Levinson’s Chapel, 8900 Reisterstown Road, on Sunday, March 19th, 2023 at 9:30am. His graveside gathering will be private.

In lieu of flowers, please consider supporting Marty’s mission to rescue animals in need. The family has set up a special fund at AAHA (Adopt a Homeless Animal), where Marty volunteered, to support training, behavior therapies, and special supports for the most vulnerable animals to help them find and stay in forever homes. Donations can be made online: https://www.aaha-rescue.org/donate, please specify “Marty’s Fund.”

Keeping the Sitnick family in my thoughts and prayers. So very sorry for your loss. I have wonderful memories of growing up with Marty and of course my childhood best friend Toby. I still have our picture of you and I getting on the kindergarten school bus on Grantley Road! Our memories continued after moving to the county.
Prayers that your families are well and Marty will be truly missed in all of our hearts.

I met Marty through my beloved friend, his sister Toby Sitnick. A few months ago I saw pictures of them as teenagers with cousins and friends. A sparkle in his eye must have began in childhood. Gentle tender warmth must have been what every dog felt when he came their way.
My deep sorrow for Karen and Jesse, and as well for Toby, his sister and for Steve his friend.
All the dogs in the world lost a hero, may his wisdom and guidance be carried on by all those that he helped.

Marty was a very special, kind and caring friend who helped my dog Cooper overcome some of his behavioral issues. Marty would come on a weekly basis to work with Cooper and myself. Gradually we became a dog - human team. My dog always loved waiting for Marty to come as he got lots of treats for performing commands. Marty had a wealth of knowledge and skills to share and made Cooper the best dog he could be. Cooper currently serves as a therapy dog for residents at an assisted living facility. Marty also made an important difference in my life; as I became the best dog owner I could be. He was a true champion and advocate in being the voice for animals in need.

I recall Marty as a fraternity brother as fellow members of ZBT at the Unversity of Maryland back in the ‘60’s -always ready with a smile and a kind word.
After college and law school, I married and returned to my homeland of the Eastern Shore. My wife Betsy ( formerly Valenstein) and I traveled to Baltimore to purchase furniture from Marty at his wonderful shop Baycraft, where we purchased two hatch-top tables that have followed and stayed with us over the years in our homes in Salisbury, Maryland, Fenwick Island, Delaware and Greenwich Village, NYC. These two tables always evoked memories of what a kind and friendly person I remember Marty to have been.
My thoughts are with his family.

Dear Karen,
I am so very sorry to hear of Marty’s passing. As you know, I have known him since high school. He was always the nicest guy and as I remember a good “jitterbugger”. May your loving memories bring you comfort. RIP Marty.

Karen and Jessica and family,

Marty was so kind to me when my dad died. He was right there to help and support me. I will never forget his kindness and devotion.
What a beautiful life you lived with him. A marriage of 51 years, what a blessing. But, we never want that to end. 51 more years would still not be enough! I know your pain is so great because of the exquisite love that you shared together. Jessie, such eloquent and beautiful words you spoke today about your dad. Thank you for giving everyone the gift of listening to you as you honored your wonderful dad! I will continue to hold all of you very close to my heart.

Dear Karen family,
I was saddened to learn of the passing of Marty. My family and I were next door neighbors to the Sitnick family on Grantley Road until they moved to Carla Road. Marty always loved animals as do I. I have fond memories of those days. I was at your wedding. I recall we had you over years ago to see old movies from Grantley Road. Although we have lost contact over the years I loved you guys .Marty will be missed. May his memory sustain you and your family.

Marty was always there to answer my questions about what to do with my boy Freddy who was a handful . Whenever he had to go to the vets it was a nightmare so I asked Marty for advise . You see Freddy was a accident waiting to happen , he would start crying the minute we took off and he would jump on my husbands head while he was driving Marty suggested we sing to him because he couldn’t have treats because of his illness. So we tried it we asked if there was a certain song and Marty said Happy Birthday was best . Well we would start singing and continue throughout the whole drive . Lol and behold it worked now Freddy drives to the vet with ease . Thank You Marty . I will miss your advise my friend .My condolences to Marty’s family ! He was a great man and dog trainer he will be missed !

To Toby Sitnick and family, Harvey Hyatt and family, Joel Richmond and family - Sending condolences to you and your families. Marty was a very kind person who will be sorely missed by anyone who met him. The work he did after retirement as SPCA director, then Homeless dogs, especially pit bulls was incredible. I will always remember him driving his first sports car,Summit Club summers, Carla Road with his wonderful parents and sister Toby and his first dog a white German Shepherd. He was a true friend to all who passed through him in life.

With Marty’s sense of humor and your wonderful way of communicating~such a perfect match. The pictures you posted are just breathtaking & how generous of you to share his life with everyone that loved and adored your Marty.
Yes, of course I would call with questions and get great advice about puppies. Always patient, kind and straight forward with all the answers.
Sending love to you and your family dear Karen.

i have many memories to share about my big Brother. He was protective and kind and would beat the sh..t out of anyone who threatened my well-being. He was sweet to my children, Elizabeth and Nicholas Miller, their spouses Eugene and Anna and our precious Granddaughter Silvie Rose! He adored the irreverent humor of my husband Steve no. Marty and I shared cynicism along with hope and despised Fox News!

To the entire Sitnick family,

While I only met Marty a couple of times over the years, we conversed on a more regular basis about dogs, especially when I had problems with them. His knowledge was amazing and for that, I am eternally grateful to him. May the memories sustain you in the days to come and my deepest condolences to the family.

I just spoke with Marty a week ago. He called me back after I left a message looking for his input about an issue with a family dog.

As many will attest, his passion for dogs was so obvious. I appreciated his willingness to listen and offer suggestions to help. A good soul and a good man, will be missed by many. Rest in peace Marty

To The Sitnick Family,
When we were about 13 years old, there were about 200 of us that met and formed “a crowd” of kids! We hung out together, some from the city, some from the county! Marty was one of the guys in that group! Hadn’t seen him in years, but am truly sorry for your loss. He was one of the good guys - I hope the fond memories you shared will help sustain you during the difficult days ahead and may his memory always be for a blessing.

I met Marty early in my time with AAHA almost ten years ago. I knew little about the complexities of animals that enter “the shelter system”…. and those who have the difficult, almost impossible job of trying to place these animals into new, loving homes. I learned much of what I know about these complexities from my friend, Marty. There are three things I will always remember about Marty….
1. He taught me one lesson that I will always remember. He said “Never put a dog in a position to fail”. I’ve said that over the years to people. He said most bites and animal euthanasia’s are preventable.
2. Secondly, I’ll never forget my first call to Marty when I was a new dog walker at Tail End kennel and my cousin had a pit bull with a behavior issue and I was referred to “call Marty Sitnick, he’ll be able to help”. When I called him I asked him how much he would charge for his time. He said “nothing, I do this Pro Bono”. I was shocked. It was several calls and a few hours of time that he gave us and his kindness- I will never forget. He would repeat that help to me many times over the years following.
3. AAHA pulled a 6 month old female puppy from one of the local shelters after they said she could not be placed on the adoption floor- that she had been turned in for biting/ behavior issues. We got her to the kennel and it was a small nightmare. Coming out of the cage, she bit all of us with her sharp little teeth. Again…. we called Marty and of course he helped. He decided to take her home to foster her and very quickly reported how well she was doing. She made a 100% turn around and gratefully Lyla became a foster fail with the Sitnick family.
I could say so much more, but at this most difficult time… we at AAHA offer our condolences to the Sitnick family.
Thank you, Marty, for always taking my urgent calls about dogs, for giving of yourself to so many animals and people, and for your support of your AAHA friends- two and four legged. You will be greatly missed 💜🐾

To Marty’s family we are so sorry for your loss. I reached out to Marty a few years ago when my sister in law Beverly was already deep into the dementia stage. I showed her Marty’s pictures on Facebook and she actually at that time could remember his name and him.
Some times I just don’t understand “ life.”
May Marty’s life be for a blessing
