To the Family. Our brother is resting in peace now awaiting the great day. He has finished his course in this sad world. I look to see him real soon on the other side. We that he left behind must continue to strengthen our faith so that we can see him.

From Tyrone and Rose Thrower

Thanks so much for having a pleasure to meet you a few years back and giving us need encouragement to attend meetings on a regular basis. We miss you so much.

Our dear brother will be missed and though he sleeps now, we can look forward to his awakening. Jesus promised that all those in his memory will hear his voice and come out. John 5:28,29

Brother Martin will be truly missed! He was such a loving and caring person. He always had the purest of intentions and was always so willing to listen to my concerns and offer any help where he felt he could. Most of all he truly loved Jehovah God. I will cherish many of the memories I created with him over the years of knowing him, such as his frequent visits to the hospital to see me when I was sick, to having dinner with him recently with my best friend and just being able to chat and hear his stories, to just always hearing him say "Hey Wilks, how's my girl." We look forward to the time when we will see him again. I pray that the family finds comfort in knowing that Jehovah God is there for you and will help you through such tough times.

Love, Lesley Wilks ❤

William and Carrie Martin were spiritual uncle and aunt to my wife and I. They watched me grow physically and spiritually. We can look forward to their smiling faces when those in God's memory are awakened from their sleep! Wendell and Tina Highsmith, Jr.

So sorry for your loss. He was a very dear brother like father to a lot of us. We look forward to seeing him and all those who are in God's memory stay again real soon. John 5:28,29. Joseph & Darlene Byrd Fallingcreek cong Richmond.

We are so sorry for your great loss. Bro and Sister Martin were loving people. They both have assisted me with Jehovah’s help with raising my 3 children and help keeping me focus through challenging times and my life. We laughed together during good times and maybe even cried together through rough times in my life. Most of all they were true friends and they loved me and my family until the end of their lives and I loved them as well. They both were lovers of Jehovah and strongly believed in the resurrection that the Bible, God’s word promises and so do I Words can’t express my sorrow so I can only imagine the great loss you may feel. May the God of Comfort be with you and May you have joy also in the good memories. Jackie Jeffero and John Jeffero❤️

We will truly miss our Dear Friend William Martin. He touched everyone who knew him a positive way. He was a father figure, someone would listen to you and give wise and truthful advice, of course from knowledge that he was given to by Our Dear God, Jehovah. He was always kind and loving. He was everything that you would for in a true friend. May Jehovah The God of Comfort be with the family and much love to the family and friends. My heart is naturally saddened but then again I look forward to seeing him very soon. Also Carrie Martin. Our Creator created them and He can bring them back in the Grand resurrection that He promised!

Mr. and Mrs Martin has been my next door neighbor for 22 years. We could not have asked for better neighbors. We looked out for them and they looked out for us. I truly cherish the friendship and close bond we have. Every time my purple flowers bloom I think of them. I love them both from the bottom of my heart. They both hold a special place in my heart.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
