Dear Ed, Catherine and grandson Ed, please accept my sympathies in the passing of your Mom and gandmother. Auntie Martina was a wonderful person who was very talented. To mention a few: her art, her sense of wonder and her caring of people. I thank Autnie Martina for being one of the mentor's in my life, as I remember, from long ago, a particular conversation she and I had over lunch in the kitchen of her Milton home. May she, with the Grace of God, be with you and continue to guide you through life's many adventures. God Bless and be with you. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
