Memories and Condolences
for Martha Myer

Not sure what to say?





To Martha's family, each and every member, whom I know she cherished - I offer my heartfelt condolences on this very precious loss. I just learned of Martha's passing and was saddened to think of Martha's smile not being among us - I know I will think of her often and with great fondness. Martha and I met at HP and continued to stay in touch, in part through our mutual admiration for the world beyond the US shores and in part through the simple enjoyment in the goodness of life. Martha was one of the brightest of lights and will be ever so missed at this time and all times.

My heart goes out to the Myers family. I knew Martha in high school in Dallas, and I remember she always had a huge smile on her face, and a great sense of humor.

To all of Martha's close friends and family, I want to send my condolences. I knew Martha only slightly, but we shared a love for Europe, antiques and the outdoors. I have been thinking of all of you during these past difficult months. A light has gone out for all of us.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Martha's family in your time of sorrow over the loss of such a young and vibrant woman. Martha touched my life while she was working at Hewlett Packard in Waltham, MA. We worked closely on the Telemetry introduction and she brightened our lives with her kind and loving ways. She was a bright light that affected the lives of all whom she encountered. I will miss her dearly.

My heart goes out to all the Myers and Drapers, and to all those who loved Martha. Although I only met her a couple of times, I was impressed with Martha's friendliness and ease with people. My condolences to all of you for a vibrant life cut way too short.
Much love, Nancy Sinsabaugh

Martha was a wonderful person, and one who knew how to love life. She will be sorely missed, and I feel so fortunate to have been her classmate. The world is a little less for the loss of Martha.

Our family was just getting to know Martha over the past year but we were already well aware of her capacity for sharing and caring for all those she knew. The McCourt Family
