“So sorry to hear of Dr. Martin's passing. I grew up at Urban Street and loved him very much as well as Mrs. Martin. Greg and Cindy were like brother and sister to me. The family will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days to come. I'm sure he rejoiced when he arrived in Heaven and Heaven was rejoicing back. He was a great man of God!!! Suzanne Simpson”
