I will always remember Deacon Martin as the epitome of professionalism, discretion and style. I admired his work with Hairston Funeral Home and his service and dedication at Mount Sinai Church. He was always aware of what was happening and actively assisted in any way he could. He was knowledgeable, organized, meticulous, and compassionate. He easily related to people and could anticipate and respond to any inevitability. Family, I'm thinking of you and praying for you during this difficult time. Carolyn Harris
