It was a honor to get to know Marteen and her sister Peggy. Marteen always warmed my heart when I saw her. She often would say something funny and had such a sweet spirit. Peggy, you are the best sister anyone could have. I know Marteen loved you dearly. You gave unconditional love to her and you are a great inspiration to anyone who witnessed your devotion and loyalty to your sister. God bless the two of you with His love and peace. Goodbye my friend, Martene. love jeri
