Marti, Jacques’ mom, succumbed this morning to the cancer she had so valiantly fought for more than four years. She is survived by the three incredible children into whom she poured her life. While it will not be easy for Jacques, Milan and Mia to deal with her passing, I do not know three siblings better suited to the task. Marti raised caring, mature, dedicated children who have touched lives and hearts the world over. She was an endearing, encouraging, loving and giving woman who wanted nothing but the best for her kids and their friends. On countless occasions this mother, doctor and philanthropist opened her heart and home to host the needs of those around her. She will be missed.
