Dear Martin Family,
Mr. Martin and my father, Jack Rozier, worked many years together at Nabisco and was very good friends. My parents thought the world of Mr. & Mrs. Martin. During my dad's illness, Mr. Martin visited him weekly and would always lift him up. They both had so much Love for their Lord and Savior and would spend hours talking about their Faith, as well as reminiscing about old times. Mr. Martin would always check in on my mother from time to time after my dad's passing, as well as they both were members at Bellevue, the church they loved so much. What a glorious re-union it must be in heaven now. Heaven has truly gained another Angel. May God comfort the family during this time of sorrow. Hold tight to those precious memories, and may God wrap his arms tightly around each of you, and may his presence be felt.
God Bless each of you,
Jacque Rozier Nguyen

Jack was a very good friend of my brother, Martin Tucker, and became a very dear person to me in the last 5-6 years that I knew him at Bellevue Baptist Church. He will be missed. Jack was a very powerful prayer warrior. It was like he was talking directly with the Lord. Jack was a wanderful warm person. we have loss a wonderful christian person, but we know he is with the Lord now along with his beautiful wife, Grace.
