Amber, Sara, Tammy, Josh and Chris,

Words cannot come out of my mouth to comfort any of you. I do know this journey we are all on will come to an end for all of us some day. I hope and pray that you will all remember the good times and thank God for every last minute you spent with Marty. I know he is with Jesus and he is happier now than he has ever been. We are sad because we want to be with him. But soon we all will be where he is (as long as you have accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and savior) and I know it will be tough for us to wait on the day where we meet him. But God needs us here right now. I love all of you and would give any of you my right hand, or legy foot! I am constantly in prayer for all of you and will be here if and when you need me.

With all my love,
Brooke and brenna

I've been thinking about you for the past few days and praying for you and your family. I hope that if there is anything I can do for you you'll let me know. I'll be seeing you soon when you get back to work. We'll go to lunch some day.
Love,

Dear Raley family,

I am so heartbroken for all of you in the unexpected death of Marty! Tammy, we will continue to pray for your comfort in missing your precious husband. I know he had many roles.....husband, dad, son, brother, friend......and was loved and will continue to be loved by all who had the privilege of knowing him! I will forever remember Marty's humor and enthusiasm. I am deeply thankful for the time you both stopped by mom's house and visited before your move to Arkansas. It was touching to see Marty's sincere commitment to Christ...and that wonderful wit and sense of humor were still there. I remember the times he came to my folks' house during the Fourth of July and would light fireworks off in the driveway....I remember his magic shows as an adolescent.....I found him so very easy to love and enjoy.

Praying God soothes your hearts with His comfort, and that you are continually reminded that He will never ever leave you....and knows your heartache and is holding you throughout your journey of grief. You are all loved and prayed for!!

Sincerely,
Pam and Gene Field and family

Dear Ones,
Since I am family, I remember seeing Marty for the first time when he was 18 mos. old. My mother, his aunt, baby sat him while his Mama worked. She thought he talked so cute and I can see him now with my Mother's poodles chasing him all around her backyard and nipping at his clothes. His eyes were as black as coal.. He was a very intelligent little boy and we were amazed at how computer savvy he became when he grew older and he was self-taught too. Marty had a funny side and a serious side to his personality. When he was serious, his voice became softer and he looked you in the eye as to say, "now listen to me." We were so sad to hear of his passing at such a young age. We can't be with you in person but our hearts and prayers are with you at this sad and difficult time. .God bless you each and everyone.
Love,
Sharon and Dave

To the Raley family:
My heart goes out to you. I love each one of you!
Words could never help you in the loss of your husband, daddy, brother, and child. But its the peace of God that passes all understanding!
Marty was quite a character. I loved his witty side and his over-my-head talk side and his love for Jesus side! He will be greatly missed!!!
Please know that I'm always here if you wanna talk or if you just need a hug!!!
I love you!!!!!!
