"Hey Martine!" (IYKYK) :)

I love you and miss you. I can’t believe this is farewell – or till we see you again. RIP 🙏🌈 😥

Your life holds a special place in our hearts – you’re a Daughter, a Sister, a Mother, a Grandma, an Aunt, an Auntie-in-law and so much more! ❤️

My heart feels heavy with sadness and loss, yet there’s also a gentle sense of calm and peace. I know you’re in a beautiful, happy place now, Martine - surrounded by loved ones you’ve missed for sooo long. No more pain, no more sadness or loneliness. Your happiness and peace are what matters – you deserve that and much more. Xo ❤️😥

When I close my eyes, I know Michael was there first to welcoming you with a big hug, he’s missed his MOM for all these years – and he let you know, - I heard you “Martine” (mom) I heard every word – every prayer, every thought – everytime…I heard you – and I’ve been waiting for you – to tell you I love you too, mom! xox ❤️

With Annick, Memere, Pepere and Alfie - gather around, they’ve been waiting for you too, Martine! Pepere has his guitar out – singing away… waiting for you to jump in and join! Memere, Annick and Alfie raise a glass and there’s big smiles all around! 🌹 🥂

It’s a beautiful place … a place of great memories, lots of love, joy and laughter. No pain, no sadness. 🌹 Maddy runs up to bring you a toy, soo happy to see you, tail wagging with excitement – and as you look up – you see all the fur babes right there too! Hobo, Ben, Taffy, Mandy, Teddy, Trixie, Chloe, Lexi, Katie, Toby and all the babes….there to see you ! 🐾❤️

Martine, your life had great meaning ❤️ it was lived with Purpose, you gave unselfishly – time and time again.

You cared with all your heart, offering comfort by just being there.

You fought Cancer and WON – reminding us all to never give up – dedicating your life to Caring for others. From the terminally ill, you showed them love and kindness to the end. 🌹

You showed up – to celebrate life moments, to share in life’s challenges to support our family through sickness and health.

You gave us ALL the most PRECIOUS GIFT – the GIFT of your TIME! It’s what mattered, it’s what we will cherish most. ❤️

I am forever grateful - enjoy that "wahoozie" in the sky - xox Love you "Heyyy Martina"!  Tammy
