Carol, Ann, Ronnie, Alvin, Dee, Carolyn, Beverly,& Gary "A Mother's Love is Forever" As children, we can't comprehend or fully realize the meaning of our mother's love, how tender and how wise, The patience and forgiveness that are part of every day; The unexpected "little things" she does in her own way. Years go by before we can look back on life and see Through older eyes and wiser hearts, her love and loyality; And yet it's these and other special things we'hold so dear; FOR MEMORIES OF HER STEADFAST LOVE 'WE' WILL KEEP HER EVER NEAR. You're in my prayers...Love

Carolyn and family, right up until the end, Martha kept her smile and through her suffering and pain, remained the modest woman in which I have always known. God blessed us all with her for a very long time. You will be in our prayers.
