Title: Very sad news regarding MSB (Martin)
Post by: Highlander on April 23, 2016, 11:11:10 AM
I find myself the bearer of the saddest of news – the passing, last Tuesday, of Martin (MSB) lotty’s beloved partner.

Lotty is utterly heartbroken.

Brenda and I have known Martin and lotty for a relatively short time. Lotty, a loyal supporter of the 3 C’s (and other Calis charities) was kind enough to introduce herself one night on the prom.

After that we had the pleasure of sharing their company on a number of occasions and from the outset it was if we had known this lovely couple for years. Those meetings were such a joy and ones which we will always treasure.

Sadly, we did not have the opportunity to get to know Martin more but it was clear from our all too brief meetings what a true gentle, considerate man he was. His love for lotty was also abundantly clear as was her love for him.

We knew from early on that Martin was not at all well. I hope lotty won’t mind me saying that Martin fought his illness in the same way as our Rachel. Never a word of complaint and always a stoical defiance behind his quiet engaging smile.

We will miss Martin terribly and we will miss not having the opportunity of getting to know him better.

Our thoughts are very much with lotty at this dreadfully sad time.

Rest in peace Martin.

We are so sad to read this, we met Martin and Lotty a couple of times and we had hoped this year to meet up with them for a meal. 
Phil and I send our deepest condolences to Lotty and her family. We would like to tell Lotty she would be welcome to come and stay with us in Calis (or Scotland) anytime.
Jacqui & Phi Harvey xx

We were crushed to hear this (I'll give you a shout when we get back Lotty).

Met Martin several times including on Jerry Boat and at the twins birthday party.

Every ounce of that man was good, thoughtful and generous. We will miss opportunities there might have been to see him in future.

Our hearts are almost literally heavy for the wonderful Lotty at this time.

Thank you so much for all the kind comments and words of support from many of you on this forum. We had Martin's funeral/celebration of life last Wednesday. It was a beautiful, emotional tribute to my darling, gentle husband who was clearly loved by so many. My heart was bursting with pride as they sang the roof off. Now it's going to be painfully hard living without him by my side. Thank God I have my wonderful memories, loving family and friends to sustain me when everything feels so hopeless. Thank you all once again.xx
