When my grandmother was dying, over twenty years ago, we cared for her at home for the last eight months of her life. I remember so clearly, still, that one day, while visiting with her, she reached out to me, patted my hand, and said, "You are such a comfort to me, Marti." I never forgot those words, and tucked them away in my heart.

After she died, wanting to stay connected to her, and folks of her generation, I began using my singing skills to bring entertainment programs to nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

Through that work, I began personal room visits, bringing my guitar and music to those not able to join group activities. From these visits, came the idea to provide a visit by CD; fun, warm, and compassionate, as though someone actually had come by to say "Hello!"

I have witnessed many miracles in my work over the years, and feel truly blessed that God has brought me to this place. I can look back over the years and see the stepping stones that appeared, one by one, in front of me, to guide my path so that has become a reality.

I wish you joy and comfort.

"Marti's enchanting voice is a balm for the soul. It soothes and embraces the listener like a beloved friend, as she guides you through a delightful array of everyday moments. Everyone should experience the joy of a MartiVisit."
