Hello Julia,
I just heard about Martin, while attending a class here at the VA, with a nurse who worked on South 1 for quite a while.
I was very sad to hear the news. I think of the two of you on occasion and how sweet you both were to me. Two wonderful peeps who I hold in my heart.... I was just thinking I should try to reach you two to catch up, just a few weeks ago.
Martin was an exceptional nurse who really embodied exactly the ideal caregiver to patients and their familys. I remember Martin saying it was his job back at home in Ireland, to maintain the family bicycles.
I am sorry to hear that Martin's time to leave came so early...
May The Road
Rise Up To Meet You
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Love always,
Vince DeSanti

Julia & Sean,
I am so sorry for your loss, I was very sadden to find this email today. I had the pleasure to work Martin and see him work his magic with patients. Martin was always a caring person and always carried a cheerful smile not matter what may have been going on in his day. He had a real gift with people and those who came into contact with Martin were very lucky to experience his kindness.
My sincerest condolences.

I had the pleasure of my experiencing my first "real" job in the same office with Martin at Tully Health Center. He was always dedicated to his work and treating all the patients as special as he could. At times, I would ask him for life advice and he was always cheerful about sharing the realities of life to a then young 20 something year old girl. He was funny, warm, always sipping tea and so proud of his little boy & Cork County. And if I remember correctly, he had a Cork County sign in his office! His humor and joie de vivre will always remain with me.
May his loved ones celebrate his life and may all the shared memories bring them solice.
With Love, Liz

He will be sorely missed. So easy to laugh with him while his ***eyes***twinkled***. So easy to trust him and his judgement since he was a deeply good human being. I stand with the many hundreds that knew him as a coworker at Stamford Hospital, with his dear family, and the thousands (really!) that loved him as their nurse while on South One. He did God's work while he was here, and was compassionate, hilariously funny, and no nonsense while he did it. The right man for the right job, and what a superb man.

It's with a heavy heart that I write this today, however knowing Martin, he would lift the heavy heart and remind me of things that would lighten it up a bit though his caring, wit, and humor. Martin has left a footprint to me and many others in his path. He will always be remembered and never forgotten. Julia and Sean, I am so sorry for your loss and hope that Martin, in spirit, will lighten up your heart and help you through this time of grief and healing.
