We help create joyful lasting and loving memories by sending the entire family for five days to Orlando, Florida for a fun-filled memory trip far removed from mounting medical bills, therapy and hospital visits. Through the generosity of corporate partners/sponsors, we are able to provide tickets to the area's best loved theme parks: Universal Studios / Island of Adventures DisneyWorld and SeaWorld, as well as a beautiful room at one of a number of Orlando/Kissimmee Resorts, discount meals, and financial support for travel and incidentals .
Our goal is to provide a treasured family time where children with an ill parent can return home with a suitcase full of special memories to be unpacked and relived for many years to come.
A tragic situation leads to years of devotion and thousands upon thousands of loving memories
Memories of Love was founded in loving memory of Marty Gottlieb. Marty was a Jacksonville Florida native, husband and father of two young children, reserve officer in the United States Army , University of North Florida graduate and at the age of 25 opened Martin Gottlieb & Associates (MGA). MGA employed more than 150 and is the physician billing office for over 10% of Emergency Department visits in the state of Florida.
As a businessman Marty was an innovator-responsible for a computerized charting system currently utilized by many hospitals across the country. Honored at his young age by many civic organizations for his compassion and generosity to benefit community health, family, juvenile justice , and to send pizzas to military troops around the world, just because he believed it would make their day a little bit better.
Marty died at age 32, but not before he captured some of the regal beauty of the country he loved, and the many faces of his young family through his gift of photography. Memories of Love Foundation was co-founded by his father, Mel Gottlieb and Henri Landwirth. This foundation is a legacy to the simplicity of a good man, who loved his family, his country, lived a very short, but very full life. We remember him with love.
