Dear Mark and Jeremy

I just learned about your Dad. What a wonderful, loving man he was. He was so proud of you both. We’ve been out of town for years and really lost touch with both your parents. What honest and gentle people they both were. I just lost Warren a month again, so I understand completely and extend my most sincere sympathy. I hope that time and good memories will lessen your sorrow.
Fondly, Carol

Marty was my godfather and a long time friend of the Cohen family. All of us were very lucky to have such a warm, friendly and caring man in our lives. May his memory be a blessing to all who love him.
