Janelle & family. Sorry to hear the sad news of Marty. Lot’s of great memories at Elmer & Anita’s farm,
especially with Marty in his “treehouse”. Lot’s of fun when us cousins got together! We seen quite a lot him when the Seibold boys were young! The one liner thing must run in the family! Prayers at this time of loss that your family will find strength in the great memories that he left.
Janelle, Dad (Bunk Rogers) & I, hurt for you & your loss. I guess my Mom won’t need to make him call home to let his Mom to let her know where he was & that he was safe & sound, because his Mom was waiting at the gates of Heaven with her arms wide open & I know God has him wrapped tightly in his arms.
