Picking Up The Pieces

10 years had passed since Martin was found guilty of the murder of his wife. And during that time, his children had to find a way to pick up the pieces of their broken family. Wistfully, their son committed suicide in 2010, and Alexis would explain, “Trying to pick up the pieces over the last 20 years, it’s been very, very difficult; And finishing medical school and residency and working, doing all the normal life things. It’s hard when you’re in a constant battle and struggling because of the acts of one man.”

Trying To Move On

Alexis also shared, “We lost so much. My mother, she was my best friend, almost my second half. She was the biggest part of my life. He took away our mother who was the most amazing, amazing human being that I’ve ever met. She was the exact opposite of him. She was the most loving and caring person. She raised four children and then opened her heart and her life and adopted four more children. And she was just a wonderful example of just love and compassion.”
