Thank you Ed for for taking care of Michael. You told me that you would watch out for him and you did. You were a friend to my California boy when he moved to Miles City and had no one. He knew he could count on you. You eased my aching heart and I knew that I could count on you also. Your were not only a friend to Michael but to us. We knew when we met you that you were kind and caring man. Our heart aches now but we will hold on to our memories and so will Michael. Our Prayers and thoughts are with your family.

My sincerest condolences to Martin family. May you take comfort in the words at Revelation 21:3,4, which promises a time when “death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore.” God will surely fulfill this promise and comfort you during this difficult time.

Cheri and family – We are so very sorry for the loss of your sweet dad. You have been and will continue to be in our prayers. “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7
Rob Shipley says
At the funeral this afternoon I sat there, quiet, and, not ashamed, because it is a House of GOD and none can be ashamed, but, I was moved that I hadn’t known Ed better over the years. I was in the Navy like he was, enlisted and grateful to serve. We should have fellowshipped so many times and did not; now, we can and will in Heaven. Wonderful man, truly wonderful, and will be sadly missed here for decades. “Ship”
Cyndie & Sheldon Hanvold says
Thoughts and prayers for Helen, Cheri and all the Marten family at this time of sadness. Ed, Im going to miss our visits and joking in our alley, from your shop to my shop… I was taking a picture of the sunrise the other morning and a Screech owl was ‘singing’. I thought of you. I know the owls are watching over you.
Heidi Herzog Moe says
Cheri and family,
I am so very saddened by your loss. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
