U.S.S. Philip D.D 498

May 8, 2011

Marti's father was in the Navy and in Vietnam when she was born, she was first seen and held by her father at the age of 3 months aboard the U.S.S. Philip D.D. 498, a destroyer, when it pulled into Pearl Harbor coming from Vietnam. There was a party aboard the ship for the men and their families, celebrating the return of the ship, the ship's bow had a beautiful giant lei of orchids around it, and there was a navy band playing the music "Hello Dolly", Marti's brother Steve was 71/2 years old, and was excited to go aboard a navy ship.

Marti always loved to hear this story even after she was grown and had a child of her own.

 

Don't know what to say, don't know what to do

May 7, 2011

My daughter Marti,

I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do

I don't know how I will get over the pain of losing you

I love you more than life itself, and when my life is through

I pray that God will take my hand and lead me straight to you

I will take you in my arms and never let you go

only you my Marti will ever know

how much I love and miss you so.

Marti and Linda

May 7, 2011

Marti's Aunt Linda (my sister) in Farmville Va. passed away exactly two weeks and 45 minutes after Marti. Why did God take them so close together ?  I don't know why, maybe He needed them both for some special reason.

My only daughter and my only  sister are gone, my heart is broken.

Flowers For Marti

May 6, 2011

If flowers grow in Heaven Lord, then pick a bunch for me,

please place them in my daughter's arms and tell her they're from me,

tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile,

place a kiss upon her cheek, and hold her for a while.
