Rest in peace My Dear Friend...
To the entire Martin Family - I cannot put into words how very sorry I am to hear of Monica's passing.
She was one of the funniest and sweetest souls to touch my life. I will forever cherish the time I got to spend with her and am hopeful that one day we will meet again. I love you Monica!!

Monica's light will shine in my memories forever. We were the best of friends starting in kindergarten. We were inseparable buddies growing up across the street from each other on Boylston Street. We finished each other's sentences, we gave "Stevie" a hard time,hung out in the tree house at the Bowmans, rode our bikes to all sorts of places we weren't supposed to, we got captured by Taft School's security when I took her there on a dare while she was visiting me in Watertown. She stayed calm while they called my parents to come and get us. All you Martins know there was no reason to be calm ,my parents spent hours deciding what the best punishment would be. We eventually laughed about our attempted escape, running through the long hallways of that big beautiful old private school frantically looking for a door out. The last time we saw each other was in the summer of 2005. I took my mother up to New Hampshire with me for a long weekend with Monica and your Mom. It was during the lupine festival and I took some great pictures during that visit. I will locate them and either post them or send them.My heart is broken. I would like to share this poem with you
Though her smile is gone forever
And her hand I cannot touch,
I have so many memories
Of the friend I loved So much,
My memories are my keepsakes,
For which I'll never part,
God has her in his keeping,
I HAVE HER IN MY HEART
Much Love to all of you and my deepest sympathy for your loss
Though her smile is gone forever
And her hand I cannot touch,
I have so many memories
Of the friend I loved So much,
My memories are my keepsakes,
For which I'll never part,
God has her in his keeping,
I HAVE HER IN MY HEART
Much Love to all of you and my deepest sympathy for your loss

Dear Martin family,
I am deeply saddened to learn of Monica's passing!
I first met Monica while working for David Southworth. We were one hell of a team on any job we did together! I found in Monica the same passion for the outdoors and giving whatever you are doing your all. She could find or make humor in our work day that would get us through the toughest of days. Shoveling snow at Mittersill, 84 walkways every snowstorm, throwing sand on icy driveways, runaway trucks on ice,falling down on those same stupid driveways and laughing like we hadn't a care. Mowing 100 lawns in a week, all the antics of odd jobs and circle jerking,she knows what I'm talking about. That's the kind of person I treasure having worked with.
That comradery grew into a friendship that was lasting. I had lost touch in recent years and am sorry for that. I miss her.
I am a better person for having known Monica.
Amy

Dear Martin Family –
I am so saddened to learn that Monica has passed away. I spent so much of my high school years with her that her spirit has been with me all this time and her spirit will continue to be with me in the future.
I remember one of my first encounters with Monica in grade school where she proved to be an avid kickball player. In her memory, my partner and sister and I bought a kickball which now reads “Monica – this kick is for you. Rest in Peace”. This ball traveled with me in my car from Chicago to the East Coast and back and has been used by adults and children considerably in the past month.
My high school years were full of Monica… playing volleyball, basketball, going to parties, dances and doing the things young adults do when growing up. She taught me how to shoot a jump shot, how to ski (with Micky’s help) and more importantly how to be a friend and how to be a sister and sibling. She gave me nicknames that I don’t dare to share now and she was always upbeat, kind, and friendly. She and all the Martin’s were instrumental in my learning how close families operate.
After my father’s funeral in 1980, Monica came over my house and picked me up and we drove up to CCSC for what purpose I don’t remember. We didn’t talk much, just listened to music and drove. Her willingness to hang out with me was truly meaningful and therapeutic for me during a tough time.
Now as an adult, thinking back on Monica’s life (in high school) I can’t help but acknowledge her strength and determination. The back brace she wore didn’t stop her and the surgery she had didn’t stop her. I never saw her down except when we lost the State Championship in volleyball our senior year.
Please know that although she and I drifted apart over the years, her memory beats strongly in my heart. I will always cherish my time with her and feel that much of who I am now is because of what she taught me and her influence on me.
You are all in my thoughts.
Sally Kolin

So sad to hear of Monica's passing in The Courier. Our paths took different directions over the years but when they did cross she always had a warm smile and strong hug to share. Today is a beautiful day here in the mountains. I took a nice long bike ride in her old neck of the woods (Lafayette/Toad), shouting her name out as I rounded corners and passed by spectacular views. I think she would chuckle at that and I hope she enjoyed it every bit as much as I did. Peace.

A candle for your easy, eager smile; for your warmth towards all of your family; for the dark New Hampshire nights in the mountains, to give you a little light, because that is where I will always think of you, and where I know you will be.

Aunt Monica had such a big heart and a beautiful smile to match. When she hugged you, you knew how much she cared. She will be missed deeply by all that knew and loved her. We are so blessed to be some of those lucky individuals. xoxo Auntie Mon -
