Martha was my nursing supervisor when I was a young Head Nurse at Piedmont Hospital. She later became a friend and patient. She was unique and loyal to those she loved ( and her hair was always perfect). I will miss her and am so glad we got to speak just weeks before she died. My sincere sympathy to her daughter and all the family.
