May all the good times you and your family shared with your Mom be a comfort to you. I had the pleasure of working with your Becky at Children's Hospital.
May you be surrounded by loving family and friends to comfort you.

Martha,
I have such amazing memories of Windingbrook Road and Oconto Road and our early years together. Your parents were so good to me....your Dad driving us around in his neat Mustang....your Mom keeping us all straight and serving us great lunches. We played Barbie games endlessly and she called you "Martha Tippett" often. I know how heartbroken she was when you both lost your sweet Daddy so suddenly and at such a young age.

This is such a huge loss for all of you, especially since she has lived with you for some time....what a great gift you, your children, husband and your Mom enjoyed, living together as an extended family.

I am thinking of you across the miles from NJ.

Love, Maribeth
